SETUP > Twisted Pair >
AC Wire Map
Select Enable to test cabling through a mid-span PoE (Power over Ethernet) device. Always
disable the AC Wire Map test when not testing through a PoE device. See Chapter 4.

Settings > Store Plot Data
Standard: The tester displays and saves plot data for frequency-based tests such as NEXT,
return loss, and attenuation. The tester saves data for the frequency range required by the
selected test limit.
Extended: The tester saves data beyond the frequency range required by the selected test
limit.
No: Plot data is not saved, which lets you save more results. Saved results show worst margins
and worst values for each pair.
