Test Cable Connections

You can use the cable diagnostic feature to easily find out the health status of network
cables. If any problems exist, this feature helps quickly locate the point where the cabling
fails, allowing connectivity issues to be fixed much faster, potentially saving technicians hours
of troubleshooting.
If an error is detected, the distance at which the fault is detected is stated in meters. (This is
the distance from the port.)
To test a cable connection:

1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
