Faulty Cables
If the cable connection pattern does not match any of the standard cable types
in the Atlas IT library, the unit will attempt to find the closest match.
The cable may be faulty for a number of different reasons: broken lines,
shorted lines, swapped or incorrectly wired lines. All these fault types will be
clearly displayed on the Atlas IT.
Missing connection(s):
In this example, the closest cable type
match is an 8-wire crossover cable.
Pressing the scroll-off button to view the
next pages reveals the nature of the fault.
Here, a flashing cross symbol indicates a
missing connection.
Shorted connection(s):
This message means the Atlas IT has
detected a short circuit between the two
lines, 7 & 8. These line numbers are as
“seen” at the Atlas IT end of the cable. If more than 2 wires are shorted, just
the first shorted pair are shown.
Swapped Lines:
Incorrectly wired lines will be flashed on
the connection details display. In this
case, lines 6 and 3 are swapped.
