Cable Trace
Tracer/Toner is a cable tracing function that assists in tracking cables
hidden in walls, ceilings, floors, or patch panels by generating a signal
that can be converted into an audible tone by Cable Tracer II (sold
separately) or any other equivalent tracing device.
1. Attach the end of the cable you want to trace to the OMNISCANNER
using a patch cord and the Channel Adapter or the Link Adapter. Make
sure that the cable is not grounded, as a grounded cable will weaken
the signal.
A multi-tone trace signal will begin transmitting.
To enhance the signal, insert a grounding plug
into the ground jack located left of the DB-9
Serial Connector. A grounding plug is included in
the optional Cable Tracer II kit; you may use any
grounding cable that has a standard insulated
phone tip plug.
2. To determine the cable path use the multi-tone sound as a guide
and simply trace along the wire where the tone is loudest. The tracer
needs to be within one foot of the hidden cable.
Press ESC to exit the CABLE TRACE screen.
Office Locator
The Office Locator function allows you to find the termination of an
office cable drop from a wiring closet. It eliminates the need to trace
cables through walls and ceilings.
1. Connect the cable to be tested to OMNISCANNER.
2. Insert the RJ-45 Office Locator adapters into
wall outlets in the offices you wish to identify. You
can connect any or all of the twelve Office Loca-
tors before beginning your test.
3. At the patch panel, run the Office Locator
function to identify, which office is connected to a
given port.
