Test setup
The following sections explain the typical test setup for the individual tests with the
LanXPLORER.
1. Confirm with the ON button to start the LanXPLORER.
2. Connect the LanXPLORER, if necessary.
3. Select the port to be tested.
4. Select Detect or Scan to start recognition.
NOTE:
The LanXPLORER automatically checks whether power is present on connected cables. If power is
recognized, it is indicated by the LanXPLORER. This automatically prevents damage to the tester. In
this case it is not possible to run a test. Disconnect the power source from the tester immediately.
5.1. Ports
This menu allows you to determine whether a fibre-optic cable, a copper line or a wireless
network is to be tested.
1. Select the menu "Ports".
2. Select the desired option.

Optical Fibre-optic cable
RJ45 Copper cable
WiFi Wireless network (WLAN)
5.2. Passive wiring
This function allows all cables not under power to be tested. If it is not possible to connect
cables directly to the interfaces present on the LanXPLORER, the cable can be connected
to the LanXPLORER using an adapter.
5.2.1. Testing a passive link without remote / active Remote
When testing a passive link, the instrument tests the connected cable for:
