Running Diagnostics Of Your Physical Links - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Running Diagnostics of your Physical Links

The NSS lets you test the physical network cables attached to Ethernet links 1 and 2 for certain fault
conditions. You must manually initiate a test to update the results shown on the Network Diagnostics
page.
NOTE: When you initiate a test on an Ethernet link, you take down the link for the duration
of the test. Any current user connections on the link are dropped. If you have two
links installed, any connections through the untested link remain unaffected.
To test the physical link:
1. From the Manager Menu, click Network
The Network Diagnostics page appears.
2. Click Test for the cable you want to test.
After the test completes, the test results appear in the Link Status area. The test results also
appear on the System Status page. If the cable is in sufficient working condition, the link is
again accessible to your users.
