5Cable Testing in Expert Mode

The Expert Autotest Setup

Choosing the Connector Type

Connectors from different manufacturers have different transmission characteristics. The FrameScope 350 compensates for those differences, if you tell it what connectors are used on the job.

1On the Autotest Setup screen, press the connector icon, then press Edit. The Connector Setup screen displays.

2Press the manufacturer of the connector, then Next. A list of that manufacturer’s connectors displays.

3Press the name of the connector, then press OK. The Autotest Setup screen displays, with the selected connector type next to the connector icon. If the connector type is not in the connector database, see “Adding a new connector type” on page 74.

Choosing the Cable Pairing Convention

To identify the correct pair in the test results, the FrameScope must be told what cable pairing convention is used. For example, if the 3,6 pair fails a test, it would be “Pair 2” if using T568A pairing, but it would be “Pair 3” if using T568B pairing.
