Chapter 3: Certify Twisted Pair Cabling
How to Do an Autotest
91
To do an Autotest on twisted pair cable
1 Attach permanent link or channel adapters to the main and
remote testers.
2 Make sure that the home screen shows the correct settings for
the job.
To make sure that other settings are correct, tap the test setup
panel, make sure the correct test is selected on the CHANGE
TEST SCREEN, then tap EDIT to see more settings. Table 3 on
page 84 describes the settings.
3 Connect the testers to the link as shown in Figure 31, 32, 33,
or 34.
4 Tap TEST on the main tester or press on the main or
remote tester.
If the tester at the other end of the cable is in sleep mode or is
off, your tester’s tone generator turns on the other tester.
If the two testers are not connected:
Your tester’s tone generator stays on so you can use a
tone probe to find the cable to connect to the other
tester.
Or, tap MEASURE to do the tests that do not require a
remote tester. Because the tester cannot complete all tests
and some tests always fail with no remote connected, the
result for an Autotest without a remote is always FAIL.
