Dtx Software Requirements; Characterizing The Adapters' Performance - Fluke DTX-PCU6S User Manual

DTX Software Requirements

The DTX main and remote testers need software version 1.1 or later to work with the
DTX-PCU6S adapters
To determine the software versions in your main and remote testers, do the following:
Connect the main and remote testers together with permanent link and channel
1
adapters or two channel adapters and a patch cord.
Turn on both testers.
2
Turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS; then select Version Information.
3
The latest software version is available at no charge on the Fluke Networks web site.
Download the update file from the website; then use LinkWare software to install new
software into the DTX testers. See the DTX CableAnalyzer Users Manual, the DTX
CableAnalyzer Technical Reference Handbook, or the online help in LinkWare for
instructions.
Patch cord performance requirements may change as standards are
amended. If requirements change, Fluke Networks will post an updated
test specification database for the DTX tester on the Fluke Networks DTX
software download page. To install a new database, use the Modify DTX
Test Limits utility in LinkWare.

Characterizing the Adapters' Performance

When you receive the patch cord adapters, you should characterize their performance.
Later, the test results can help you determine when the adapters' jacks need replacing
or verify that the adapters are working properly. See Appendix A: "Characterizing and
Testing the Adapters' Performance".
