Chapter 3 Structured Cable Field Calibration and Testing TEST SEQUENCE When the AUTOTEST button is pressed, the following actions occur: 1. The DH firsts attempt to communicate with the RH (Remote Handset) using one correctly wired pair. If it is unable to establish communication, the DH will display a message that it is looking for the RH and continue trying until the Autotest is manually canceled or the RH is found. 2. Once communication with the RH is established, its serial number is checked to see if current field calibration data exists. If a field calibration has not been performed in the last 7 days with the RH unit, the Autotest will be aborted and a “Calibration Required” message will display. 3. If the serial number is valid, the DH will proceed with the specified Autotest. The first test performed in most Autotests is the Wire Map for twisted pair cable types. 4. After running the Wire Map test, Autotest runs the remaining tests specified for the currently selected cable type. You have the option of specifying (in Autotest Preferences) that testing halt after any failed test or proceed through the entire Autotest series regardless of test failures. 5. Once an Autotest has been completed, all of the test data can be reviewed, saved, and printed. ‣ The test results for the last Autotest are held in non-volatile memory and available for review or storage, even after power is cycled off and back on. ‣ The last Autotest results remain in non-volatile memory until they are either replaced by new test results, the memory is cleared, or any Analyze test is performed. SETTING AUTOTEST PREFERENCES 1. Select the Preferences on the Ready screen. The Preferences screen appears. 2. Select Autotest Preferences. The Autotest Preference screen appears. 3. Press the ARROW keys to highlight the desired option. 4. Press to activate or deactivate an option. 5. Press ENTER to accept the selected Autotest Preferences or press ESCAPE to exit this screen without making changes. RUNNING AUTOTEST AND UNDERSTANDING RESULTS Autotest performs comprehensive tests using programmed testing limits. An overall pass or fail is displayed along with individual test results. Before beginning Autotesting, connect the Display and Remote handsets to the cable or link to be tested. 1. Press AUTOTEST. During the Autotest, the handset unit will display a progress screen. 2. If the RH unit is not found, a “Searching for Remote Handset” warning message is displayed on the DH. Press ESCAPE to cancel the test and return to the Ready screen. 3. If the RH is found, Autotest compares the cable test readings to standards for the cable type selected and issues pass/fail statements for each test. 4. When the Autotest is completed, an overall result of pass or fail is displayed at the top right of the test information columns. Results for individual tests are displayed opposite each test name. 3-12

If results from the current test have not been saved, you will be prompted to discard or save the current test results before the next Autotest will run. Note: The tester also performs real time Analyze testing that enables you to troubleshoot problem areas. If Autotest results indicate a failure, refer to the Analyze Testing section for further details. INTERPRETING AUTOTEST RESULTS Pass/Fail Reporting The overall Autotest result is displayed at the top right of the Autotest display screen. Individual Autotest results are displayed to the right of each test.
