4.4.19 Port diagnostics
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".
