Cable verification
The EtherNID uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to determine the quality of cables, connectors, and terminations.
Some of the possible problems that the EtherNID can diagnose are: opens, shorts, cable impedance mismatch, bad
connectors, and termination mismatch.

To perform a cable test, do the following:
1. Open the Port > Cable page.
2. Click the name the connector you want to test. For example, if you click RJ45-B you will see the following page.
3. Click Perform Test.
4. The status of each channel is updated as the tests are run.
