4.4 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, from the Diagnostics menu, type 4 and press Enter.
The Cable Diagnostics screen (Figure 4-6) opens.
NOTE: The cable diagnostic test is for User ports only, as the network ports are SFP.
To run the diagnostics test on the User port, type the number of the port (1-4) and press Enter.
When the test is complete, press Esc to return to the Diagnostics menu.
