4.4.19.1 Cable tester
With this page, each individual Ethernet port can run independent fault diagnostics on
the cable. This test is performed without needing to remove the cable, connect a cable
tester and install a loopback module at the other end. Short-circuits and cable breaks
can be localized to within a few meters.
Note
Please note that this test is permitted only when no data connection is established on
the port to be tested.
If, however, there is a data connection to the port to be
tested, this is briefly interrupted.
Automatic re
-establishment of the connection can fail; in this case, the connection
needs to be re
-established manually.
To run a cable test at the combo port, the "Combo Port Media Type" "RJ45" must be set
under
"System > Ports > Configuration".
