Caution
To avoid disrupting network operation and to ensure
maximum accuracy of test results
• Except when monitoring network activity, never
connect the test tool to an active network. Doing so
may disrupt network operation.
• Never attempt to insert any connector other than an
RJ45 connector into the RJ45 jack. Inserting other
connectors, such as RJ11 (telephone) connectors, can
permanently damage the jack.
• Never attempt to send data from a PC to the test tool
while running a cable test. Doing so might cause
erroneous test results.
• Never operate portable transmitting devices during a
cable test. Doing so might cause erroneous test
results.
• When using the channel/traffic link interface adapter
(DSP-LIA013), never run tests with cables connected
to both the cable jack and the monitor jack. Doing so
might cause erroneous test results.
• To ensure maximum accuracy of test results, perform
the self-calibration procedure as described in
“Calibrating the Test Tool” in Chapter 6 every 30 days.
• To avoid false test results, recharge the battery as
soon as the low battery message appears.
• If your test tool includes the DSP-LIA101 Permanent
Link Adapters, see “Permanent Link Interface
Adapters” later in this chapter for important handling
information.
