4.9.2.4 Cable Diagnostics

This page is used for running the Cable Diagnostics.
Press Start to run the diagnostics. This will take approximately 5 seconds. If all ports are selected, this can take approximately
15 seconds. When completed, the page refreshes automatically, and you can view the cable diagnostics results in the cable
status table. When properly terminated, VeriPHY reports the approximate cable length (in meters) for each of the four cable
pairs A, B, C, and D. Note that Cable Diagnostics is only accurate for cables of length 7 - 140 meters.
10 and 100 Mbps ports will be linked down while running cable diagnostic. Therefore, running cable diagnostic on a 10 or 100
Mbps management port will cause the switch to stop responding until VeriPHY is complete. The VeriPHY Cable Diagnostics
screen in Figure 4-9-15 appears.
The page includes the following fields:
