Table 3-4. Smart Remote Requirements for Twisted Pair Single Tests
Test Smart Remote Requirements*
HDTDX analyzer Recommended. Without a smart remote, results for short cables may be unreliable.
HDTDR analyzer Optional. Without a smart remote, the plot shows large reflections at the end of the cabling.
Wire Map
Recommended. Without a remote some faults, such as split pairs and opens at the far-end connector,
cannot be detected.
AC Wire Map Required. See Chapter 4.
Resistance Optional.
Impedance Optional. Test is available only for limits that require the impedance measurement.
Length Optional.
Propagation Delay Optional.
Delay Skew Optional.
Insertion Loss Required.
NEXT/PS NEXT
Recommended. The NEXT test may fail if the end of the cabling is not properly terminated with a
remote or resistors.
ACR-F/PS ACR-F Required.
ACR-N/PS ACR-N Required.
Return Loss
Recommended. The return loss test may fail if the end of the cabling is not properly terminated with a
remote or resistors.
* Note: If a remote is not required for a test, the test runs without activating the toner when no remote is detected.
