Using the LANEXPERT Cable Test Functions
LANEXPERT Cable Test Functions; PORT ID, TONE, LENGTH, WIREMAP and PoE are accessed by
selecting CABLE TEST from the HOME Screen. An inline PoE test is provided in the Analyze
Network functions. The Cable Test functions are ONLY available on RJ-45 PORT 2. Select START
to begin each test.
PORT ID is used to determine which port of a hub or switch is wired to a particular wall jack by blinking
the Link LED on the port. The blink rate is adjustable for compatibility with most switches and
hubs.
TONE is used to locate a punchdown or trace a cable using a Cable Tracker CT-15 probe (Optional).
The tone cadence and frequency are adjustable.
LENGTH measures and displays the distance to an open or short of each wire pair in a cable. (The far
end of the cable under test should be disconnected from a port or Wiremap Terminator prior to
starting the length measurement.)
WIREMAP verifies proper cable wiring and detects split pairs. Connect the Wiremap Terminator to the
cable under test prior to selecting START.
PoE tests for IEEE Standard Power. The LanExpert displays the wire pairs that are powered, the
voltage measured and the wire pair polarity.
