Single Tests for Coaxial Cabling

The Single Test mode on the rotary switch allows individual execution of the
coaxial cabling tests available in the Autotest mode. The HDTDR test is also
available as a Single Test for coaxial cabling.
The coaxial cable tests available as Single Tests produce results displayed in the
same format as displayed in the Autotest mode.
Running a Single Test on Coaxial Cabling
For instructions on running the HDTDR test, see the earlier section
"The HDTDR Test." For instructions on running tests in the
MONITOR mode, see the later section "Monitoring Network
Activity."
To run a Single Test on coaxial cabling, refer to Figure 4-4 and proceed as
follows:
1. Turn off any PC nodes connected to the cabling you are testing.
2. If you want to measure cable length, remove the terminator from the far end of
the cable you are testing.
3. Attach a channel link interface adapter to the main unit.
4. Turn the rotary switch to SINGLE TEST.
5. Verify that the test standard and cable type are correct. You can change these
settings in the SETUP mode.
6. Remove the terminator from the near end of the coaxial cabling; then use the
RJ45 to BNC adapter to connect the cable to the test tool.
7. Use U D to highlight the test you want to run.
8. Press E to start the highlighted test.
