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.
