OMNISCANNER’s Diagnostic Functions
OMNISCANNER has several advanced diagnostic test functions to help
you with the identification of network cabling faults. Diagnostics
allows you to locate opens, breaks, and short circuits as well as NEXT
and Return Loss cabling faults in twisted pair cabling. Further,
OMNISCANNER allows you to measure Impulse Noise, trace cables, and
locate office drops.
Press the (Diagnostics) function key to display the DIAGNOS-
TICS screen.
Wiremap
Wiremap identifies the location of opens, breaks and pairs that are
shorted. This allows quick identification of the fault location.
Select Wiremap to display the WIREMAP screen. The screen displays
the wire connections between OMNISCANNER and OMNIREMOTE. The pairs
that are being tested are defined by the selected test standard. Shield
continuity is tested if a shielded cable type is selected. (See Chapter 4 -
Setup: Cables for further information about shielded cables.)
