WIRING CONDITION INDICATORS

NOTE: See FIG. 1 below for examples of correctly and incorrectly wired connectors.

PASS INDICATORS
Will illuminate if the cable is properly wired. For RJ45, the 4 pairs are wired according to the T568A/568B data cable standards or if cable is wired straight through on RJ11 or RJ12 terminated plugs.

FAULT INDICATORS
MISWIRE: Illuminates if the cable is not wired to one of the cabling standards shown below, or if the conductor wire order on the near end does not match the conductor wire order on the opposite end, i.e. if Pin 1 on near end is wired to Pin 2 on the far end.
OPEN: Illuminates if one or more of the conductor wires on the near end are not terminated properly on the far end, or if any of the near-end contact pins are not properly terminated.
SHORT: Illuminates when two or more conductor wires make contact with each other.

SHIELDED INDICATOR
Illuminates when a shielded (ground wire or foil) data cable is properly connected at both ends, either by ground wire or by foil.

NOTE:

• When "OPEN" and "MISWIRE" exist simultaneously, only can be judged as "OPEN".
• When "SHORT" and "MISWIRE" exist simultaneously, only can be judged as"SHORT"
• When "OPEN" and "SHORT" exist simultaneously for one wire, only can display one status. If "OPEN" first then "SHORT", judge as "OPEN"; If "SHORT" first then "OPEN", judge as "SHORT".
• If only one fault ("OPEN" or "SHORT") happens to one wire. For example, wire#1 is open, wire#4 and wire#5 are shorted, then both "OPEN" and "SHORT" can be detected and displayed.

NOTE: A Cross-Over Cable, RJ45 or RJ11/12, will flash MISWIRE and PASS simultaneously. On an RJ12-terminated wire with Pin 1 and 6 open faults, "RJ11 PASS" will be the response.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

POWERING ON AND OFF / TESTING A CABLE
The LAN Explorer™ has a single button to start a test. When powered off, a short press of the Test button causes the LAN Explorer™ to turn on, and a cable test to be executed. See INDICATORS section. The results are displayed for 30 seconds before powering off. If another short press occurs before the 30 second time-out, another test cycle will begin, followed by another 30 second time-out.

The LAN Explorer™ will automatically power off if there is no test result change for 30 seconds.
To manually power off the LAN Explorer™, press the Test Button for 2 seconds.
