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.
