1.10 When To Use OMNIRemote
Most measurements require the use of OMNIRemote at the far end of the cable.
For other measurements, OMNIRemote can be connected, but its use is optional.
OMNIScanner detects the presence of the remote unit and automatically
configures it for the measurement to be performed.
Twisted pair measurements requiring the use of OMNIRemote:
• Autotest
• Wiremap
• NEXT and Power Sum NEXT
• Attenuation
• Return Loss
• ELFEXT and Power Sum ELFEXT
• ACR and Power Sum ACR
Twisted pair measurements not requiring the use of OMNIRemote:
• Length/Delay/Skew
• Resistance
1.11 Connecting OMNIScanner and OMNIRemote
OMNIScanner and OMNIRemote are used together to perform measurements,
which allow the scanner to verify installed links or assist in the diagnosis of physical
layer network problems. To accomplish these measurements, OMNIScanner and
OMNIRemote are connected at either end of a network-cabling link. The end at
which the scanner is connected, is referred to as the “Scanner end,” and the end at
which the remote unit is connected, is referred to as the “Remote end.”
