When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally...
If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub,
the following message will appear:

Link Detected

Displays transmission speed

Cable Length

Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.

Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate
at a normal speed of 10/100/1000Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated.

When a Cable Problem Occurs...
If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and the
length shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.
Example: Pair1-2 Status = Short / Length = 1.6m
Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 1.6m on Pair 1-2.

Note: Pair 4-5 and Pair 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, their Status fields will
show Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable

Start detecting at Port.....
Link Detected --> 100Mbps
