4.5 Cable Diagnostics

The cable diagnostics function provides UTP cable testing. Its function is to determine the UTP
cable status and can provide a very useful physical link troubleshooting tool.

When the cable is OK, cable diagnostics indicates the length of the cable.

When there is a problem, cable diagnostics indicates how far from the interface connec-

tion the fault is and information about the fault.

To access the Cable Diagnostics screen, type 5 and press Enter. The Cable Diagnostics screen
(Figure 4-10) opens.

User Port To run the diagnostic test on the User port, type 1 and press Enter. When the

test is complete, press Esc to return to the Diagnostics screen.
