Maintenance Using TDR
The time domain reectometer (TDR) is supported on all Dell Networking switch/routers.
TDR is an assistance tool to resolve link issues that helps detect obvious open or short conditions within any of the four copper pairs. TDR
sends a signal onto the physical cable and examines the reection of the signal that returns. By examining the reection, TDR is able to
indicate whether there is a cable fault (when the cable is broken, becomes unterminated, or if a transceiver is unplugged).
