Autotest on Coaxial Cable
The following tests are run during an Autotest on coaxial cable:
•
Impedance
•
Resistance
•
Length
•
Anomaly detection (Results shown only if anomalies are detected.)
To run an Autotest on coaxial cable, refer to Figure 2-6 and proceed as follows:
1. Turn off any PC nodes connected to the cable you are testing.
2. If you want the Autotest to report cable length, remove the terminator from the
far end of the cable.
3. Attach any channel link interface adapter to the main unit.
4. Turn the rotary switch to AUTOTEST.
5. Verify that the test standard and cable type displayed are correct. You can
change these settings in the SETUP mode.
6. Remove the terminator from the near end of the coaxial cable. Use the RJ45 to
BNC adapter to connect the cable to the test tool.
7. Press T to start the Autotest.
