5.4 Cable Diagnostics
You can perform cable diagnostics for all ports or selected ports to diagnose any cable faults
(short, open etc..) and feedback a distance to the fault.
• Cable Diagnostics – Cable diagnostics is performed on a per-port basis. Select the port
number from the drop-down list.
• Cable Status – Shows the cable length, operating conditions and isolates a variety of
common faults that can occur on Category 5 twisted pair cabling.
Note: Due to a hardware issue Port 8 cannot display cable diagnostic information.
