Wire Map
Wire map results show the connections between the main
and remote testers. The tester checks the cable pairs
required by the selected test limit. If the wire map test fails,
you can continue or stop the Autotest.
Tip: The wire map test in Single Test mode features a
scanning function that runs the wire map test
continuously. This function is helpful for locating
intermittent wiring faults.
Figure 3-8 describes examples of wire map screens. For
information on AC wire map screens, see Chapter 4.
