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 and then needs to be done manually.
Description

● Port

● Run Test
