Cable Tester - Moxa Technologies EtherDevice User Manual

Cable Tester

The Cable tester function gives you a quick way to test an Ethernet cable to determine if it
is a straight-through cable, cross-over cable, or is not wired correctly or has a short. The
Cable tester function works by isolating ports 1 and 2 from the rest of MOXA EtherDevice
Server's ports. For this reason, you should first check that ports 1 and 2 are not in use
before testing an Ethernet cable.
Before entering cable-test mode, check to make sure that ports 1 and 2 are not in use.
After entering cable-test mode, ports 1 and 2 will be completely isolated from the rest of
the network. Do not enter cable-test mode if you currently have active devices connected
to ports 1 or 2.
The Cable tester function can be accessed from either the Console utility, or from the Web
Browser interface. Take the following steps to use the Cable tester function:
STEP 1
Enter Cable-test mode.
