4 Integration with Plan-Um Software
The ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu kit includes Plan-Um Cabling
Project Management software that allows for the planning of
jobs, automating testing, and generating reports. Plan-Um
can be installed on a PC from the included USB thumb drive.
Plan-Um can then be used to create job files that include
some or all of these elements:
Job information – details of the tester and the job site.
Network view – logical view of network topology
Floor plan – physical view of network topology
Inventory – what material is needed for the job
Cable test schedule – what cables need to be tested
and what tests need to be run on each cable.
Standard and custom cable types can be used.
Once the job file is created in Plan-Um it can be transferred
or saved to the USB thumb drive from the PC and then
opened on the ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu. The cable test
schedule will be available in the auto test menu. Cables can
then be tested using the auto test function. Tests performed
on specific cable types will be determined by the cable
definition.
Once all tests are complete, the job file can be saved to the
USB thumb drive and transferred back to the PC where it
can be opened, analyzed, and reports can be printed.
Reports can contain some or all of these elements:
Job information – details of the tester and the job site.
Network view – logical view of network topology
Floor plan – physical view of network topology
