If the port being tested is a Giga port, the Advanced Information block contains the
following information, which is refreshed each time you enter the page:
• Cable Length: Provides an estimate for the length.
• Pair—Cable wire pair being tested.
• Status—Wire pair status. Red indicates fault and Green indicates status OK.
• Channel—Cable channel indicating whether the wires are straight or cross-
over.
• Polarity—Indicates if automatic polarity detection and correction has been
activated for the wire pair.
• Pair Skew—Difference in delay between wire pairs.
NOTE TDR tests cannot be performed when the port speed is 10Mbit/Sec.
