Cable fault diagnostics
You can run fault diagnostics for the cables at each individual electrical Ethernet port. This
makes it possible to localize short-circuits and cable breaks.
This function is not possible with IRT devices.
To be able to run the fault diagnostics, the Ethernet cable must be plugged into the X-200.
There must, however, been no physical connection (link) to another network component.
