If you explicitly run the Wiremap Cable test while the far
end of the cable is attached to a Hub, you may see
unexpected results like wires shorted together. This is a
normal side effect of forcing a wiremap to be done on a
remote device other than a Cable Identifier.
Identifying Cables
Use the Cable Identifiers in mapping a cable. (Cable
Identifier #1 is standard equipment and comes with the
Network Assistant; Cable Identifiers #2 through #6 are
optional. See "Optional Equipment" in Chapter 1.)
In mapping cables to individual offices from the wiring
closet, the Network Assistant identifies unique Cable
Identifiers and displays the wiremap and adapter number.
To map a cable, connect a Cable Identifier to the far end
of the cable that you wish to identify (in the wiring closet,
for example) and connect the near-end of the cable to the
Network Assistant’s RJ-45 network connector.
You can also connect the optional RJ-45-to-Punchdown
block adapter to the RJ-45 network connector (with an RJ-
to-RJ cable) and quickly map cables to individual offices
by running either the
(Wiremap Cable) or (Cable
AutoTest).
Toner
Press (Toner) to transmit a low (185 Hz to 200 Hz) or
high (350 Hz to 375 Hz) tone on the cable for use with a
user supplied receiver, such as the Fluke 140 Tone Probe.
Using the tone is a way to trace a cable on the network.
Define Cable
Press (Define Cable) to select units (meters or feet)
and the cable category for the cable you are ready to test.
This Define Cable operation is the same as the one that
can be accessed through the Setup screen.
