Autotest<br />
Using Autotest, the installation can be measured and tested in a simple and fast way. After<br />
pressing the AUTOTEST key, LanTEK ® <strong>II</strong> Cable Tester automatically performs a number of<br />
pre-programmed single tests. Autotest can be enabled from the Display (DH) or Remote (RH)<br />
handset.<br />
Selection of single tests from the test series depends on the type of cabling to be tested.<br />
Specification of the test series is based on approved or recommended standards, as well as<br />
specific parameters.<br />
After the test series is completed, LanTEK ® <strong>II</strong> Cable Tester displays an overall passed/failed<br />
result, as well as the individual passed/failed results.<br />
Preferences on Display handset (DH)<br />
‣ Set Autotest Pref.<br />
‣ Select job folder.<br />
‣ Set cable name (cable ID).<br />
‣ Select cable type.<br />
Connections<br />
‣ Separate cable line to be tested from all network components.<br />
‣ Using suitable patch cords, connect the Display handset (DH) to one end of the cable line<br />
(link), and the Remote handset (RH) to the opposite end of the cable line (link).<br />
Test run<br />
By pressing the AUTOTEST key, the test procedures described below are initiated:<br />
‣ First, the Display handset (DH) attempts to establish a connection to the Remote handset<br />
(RH) via a correctly connected wire pair. If connection cannot be established, the Display<br />
handset (DH) will show the message "Searching for Remote (RH). The search is continued<br />
until the Autotest is manually cancelled or the Remote handset (RH) is located.<br />
‣ After connection to the Remote handset (RH) has been successfully established, its serial<br />
number is read out to check if current configuration data are available.<br />
NOTE:<br />
If during the last 7 days no calibration has been performed on the identified Remote<br />
handset (RH), the Autotest is cancelled and the user receives a message that a field<br />
calibration is required.<br />
‣ Display handset (DH) continues the Autotest if serial number is valid. Most Autotests start<br />
with the Wiremap test for twisted pair cables.<br />
‣ Following the Wiremap test, the other single tests that have been defined for the currently<br />
selected cable type are performed.<br />
‣ After completion of Autotest, all test data can be displayed, saved and printed.<br />
‣ The test results of the last Autotest are stored in the non-volatile memory and remain<br />
available for viewing even after the LanTEK ® <strong>II</strong> Cable Tester is powered on or powered<br />
down.<br />
