Using the Link Interface Adapters
The link interface adapters provide the correct connectors
and interface circuitry for testing different types of LAN
cabling. The adapters also allow for upgrades when new
types of cable are developed.
If your test tool includes the DSP-LIA101 Permanent Link
Adapters, see “Permanent Link Interface Adapters” on
page 12 for important handling information.
Optional link interface adapters that provide additional
functions are available from your Fluke Networks dealer.
Visit the Fluke Networks website at
www.flukenetworks.com for the most recent information
on optional adapters.
Figure 5 shows how to attach a link interface adapter.
Refer to Appendix A in the Users Manual for a list of tests
supported by the standard link interface adapters.
Note
The test tool displays a message if you try to run
a test not supported by the attached link
interface adapter.
