Installation Manual
Please note that Category 5 or 5e auto testing using
your Category 5 or 5e tester can be used ONLY on
those Category 5 or 5e cable runs that terminate in a
Category 5 or 5e Module in the SMC AND at a
Category 5 or 5e jack at the wallplate. Your Category
5 or 5e test equipment requires you to plug in test
equipment at both the SMC Category 5 or 5e Module
and the wallplate Category 5 or 5e jack on the same
link to perform the auto test routines. You will need to
enter the cable number and then record the test result,
Pass or Fail, as displayed on your tester. Most testers
will record the pass/fail information internally and then
allow you to download the information to a PC file.
Follow the instructions that come with your Category 5
or 5e field tester to record and down load test informa-
tion.
For Leviton Integrated Networks Certified System
requirements, Leviton will accept electronic files, file
printouts, or copies of hand entered data on the test
documentation forms provided at the end of this chap-
ter. If you use the forms, please make several copies so
that you can complete them at your job sites.
Leviton and other suppliers manufacture equipment for
testing low voltage wiring. Two key instruments from
Leviton are the Tone Test Set and the Inductive Speaker
Probe. Used together, these instruments will:
• Locate individual wires in a horizontal run along with
any breaks or terminations that might be present
• Test for continuity
• Check for shorts and opens
• Identify Tip and Ring polarity
• Identify the line condition for CLEAR LINE with dial
tone, BUSY LINE and RINGING LINE
The low-cost Tone Test Set can test for all types of wire
applications including telephone, data, CATV, HVAC
systems, and security/fire alarms. Results are shown on
an easy-to-read LED. Telco standard 6A-type alligator
clips with piercing pins securely grip 66-clips, screw
heads, screw bodies, and wire-wrapped or threaded
terminals, allowing testing of all types of configurations.
A 6-position, 2-conductor plug lead is also provided for
connection to modular jacks.
10.6 Final Residential Wiring
Verification – Telephone
Wiring
With the dial tone installed and all initial testing com-
pleted, final verification testing can be done with either
a buttset or a telephone set.
To perform the final testing:
• Connect to the NID (network interface device) at the
demarcation point.
• Go off-hook and receive dial tone.
• If a test number is available, call it and receive a
return call (check with the phone company about test
lines). Listen for clear transmission. Confirm that the
digits dialed will stop dial tone and that dial tone
resumes when the phone is hung up and then taken
off hook again.
• If these tests fail, either the line has not been installed
or the fault is in the access lines to the phone com-
pany, in which case the phone company should be
contacted.
• Repeat the test for each phone line at the demarca-
tion point.
• Connect the NID to the premises wiring.
• Go to each outlet in turn and repeat the test for every
installed line (at each jack).
If a failure is encountered during the final verification test:
• Check the wiring to the jack for proper connections
and check the wiring (including the distribution
device) to see if any obvious disturbance has

"Basic Link" Test Configuration
- Covers just the permanent portion of cable run
- Intended primarily for cable installers who must
test cable before patch cords and network equipment
are installed
"Channel" Test Configuration
- Measures end-to-end cable run performance
- More comprehensive test coverage
