Table 3-2. Smart Remote Requirements for Single Tests
Test Smart Remote Requirements*
HDTDX analyzer Recommended. Without a smart remote, results for short cables may be unreliable.
HDTDR analyzer Optional. Without a smart remote, the plot shows large reflections at the end of the cabling.
Wire Map Recommended. Without a remote some faults, such as split pairs and opens at the far-end
connector, cannot be detected.
Length Optional.
Propagation Delay Optional.
Delay Skew Optional.
Insertion Loss Required.
NEXT/PSNEXT Recommended. The NEXT test fails unless the end of the cabling is properly terminated with a
remote or resistors.
ELFEXT/PSELFEXT Required.
ACR/PSACR Required.
Return Loss Recommended. The return loss test fails unless the end of the cabling is properly terminated
with a remote or resistors.
* Note: If a remote is not required for a test, the test runs without activating the toner when no remote is detected.
