When the autotest is complete, the status indication for all tests will
indicate “Pass”, “Fail” or link speed. The STATUS LED on the
remote handset will light green if all tests passed and red if any test
failed.
All autotest results are saved regardless of their pass/fail status. If
re-testing a failed cable is necessary, change the cable ID to the
name of the existing test and press the Autotest button. A message
box will warn that the cable ID already exists. Use the left/right
arrow keys to choose the “Yes” option and press Enter. This will
overwrite the existing test data with data from the new autotest.
Stopping an Autotest
When an autotest is running, each of the individual tests in the
suite is processed individually. Pressing the F1 function key will
interrupt the test suite after the current test is finished running.
Active Link Testing
When in the Active Link mode (see page 2-2) pressing the Autotest
button will begin a series of Active LAN tests. While in this mode
the following tests can be run:
? Wire map – Displays the wire map and the length of the cable.
? Link Establishment (described on page 5-2)
? DHCP Test – This function attempts to locate a DHCP server
(also known as an IP address server) on the local network. If
discovered, SIGNALTEK will request an IP address from the
network. Successful negotiation of an IP address indicates that
SIGNALTEK is able to communicate on the network and that
the cabling can support IP traffic.
? Ping Test – Used to send packets to a device on the network
to check its response. To ping a device, the network address
of the device must be known and entered into the Ping setup
screen (see page 2-7).
