Chapter 3 Structured Cable Field Calibration and Testing Step 3 ‣ Connect the RJ45/66 Block adapter to one end of the DH RJ45 patchcord. Note: If field testing a TIA-568A connection system, use a T568A calibration adapter. If field testing a TIA-568B connection system, use a T568B calibration adapter. ‣ Insert the other end of the DH patchcord into the DH unit, leaving the block adapter connection open-ended. ‣ From the DH Field Calibration screen, select START, or press AUTOTEST to perform the third calibration process. Step 4 ‣ Press AUTOTEST on the RH to perform the fourth calibration process. ‣ If calibration is successful, the DH will briefly Display “Calibration Complete” and the RH will briefly display the PASS light. The handsets and the patchcords are now ready for testing procedures. ‣ If calibration is unsuccessful, the DH will briefly display either a Warning screen displaying “No Remote Handset” or a Calibration Failure screen. AUTOTEST AND SINGLE TEST FOR STRUCTURED CABLE AUTOTEST SUITE OVERVIEW Autotest is the easiest and quickest way to measure and verify your cable installation. When the AUTOTEST key is pressed, the LANTEK tester automatically performs a series of pre-programmed tests. These test suites are pre-determined based on either adopted or proposed standards as well as specific parameters. After all tests have been completed, the tester displays a single overall pass/fail result and individual test pass/fail results. Autotests are performed with the Display Handset (DH) and Remote Handset (RH) connected at opposite ends of the cable under test. Test Suites Tests run during an Autotest depend on the cable type selected. Autotest can be preset to automatically save test results immediately following each suite of tests, or results can be saved and printed manually. To preset these functions, see Autotest Preferences. Individual sub-tests can be selected and viewed with more detailed data following completion of the Autotest using the Autotest Results screen. 3-8

Structured Cable Field Calibration and Testing<br />

Step 3<br />

‣ Connect the RJ45/66 Block adapter to one end of the DH RJ45 patchcord.<br />

Note: If field testing a TIA-568A connection system, use a T568A calibration adapter.<br />

If field testing a TIA-568B connection system, use a T568B calibration adapter.<br />

‣ Insert the other end of the DH patchcord into the DH unit, leaving the block<br />

adapter connection open-ended.<br />

‣ From the DH Field Calibration screen, select START, or press AUTOTEST to<br />

perform the third calibration process.<br />

Step 4<br />

‣ Press AUTOTEST on the RH to perform the fourth calibration process.<br />

‣ If calibration is successful, the DH will briefly Display “Calibration Complete” and<br />

the RH will briefly display the PASS light. The handsets and the patchcords are<br />

now ready for testing procedures.<br />

‣ If calibration is unsuccessful, the DH will briefly display either a Warning screen<br />

displaying “No Remote Handset” or a Calibration Failure screen.<br />

AUTOTEST AND SINGLE TEST FOR STRUCTURED CABLE<br />

AUTOTEST SUITE OVERVIEW<br />

Autotest is the easiest and quickest way to measure and verify your cable installation.<br />

When the AUTOTEST key is pressed, the <strong>LANTEK</strong> tester automatically performs a<br />

series of pre-programmed tests. These test suites are pre-determined based on either<br />

adopted or proposed standards as well as specific parameters. After all tests have<br />

been completed, the tester displays a single overall pass/fail result and individual test<br />

pass/fail results.<br />

Autotests are performed with the Display Handset (DH) and Remote Handset (RH)<br />

connected at opposite ends of the cable under test.<br />

Test Suites<br />

Tests run during an Autotest depend on the cable type selected.<br />

Autotest can be preset to automatically save test results immediately following each<br />

suite of tests, or results can be saved and printed manually. To preset these functions,<br />

see Autotest Preferences.<br />

Individual sub-tests can be selected and viewed with more detailed data following<br />

completion of the Autotest using the Autotest Results screen.<br />
