Cable Test Results
If NetTool is connected to a patch cable, AutoTest
evaluates the integrity of the cable and finds errors that
might suggest a physical media problem. If a wiremap
adapter is attached, NetTool performs deeper testing of
the cable by additionally verifying pin-to-pin connectivity.
Cable Length, Opens, Shorts, and Splits
To find out about the cable, move the cursor to the Spool
icon, then press SELECT.
The Cable screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-2:

within the cable and indicates whether there are any
opens, shorts, or split pairs present.
Wiremap
If a wiremap is attached, select (Wiremap icon).
The Crossover Cable screen (Figure 3-3) is displayed,
which verifies the length of the cable and identifies the
pinouts at each end:
