DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card

To test the diagnostic, first disconnect the cable from the remote end node so there is just an open cable connected to the DGE-530T. Click the appropriate adapter from the tree view above and then click the Start VCT button. The results which will appear in the table below will display the cable pairs, the status of the corresponding cable, the distance to the fault, and the status of the test. If the selected adapter is connected and has an uplink, the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) will be activated and will report the speed of the connection (10, 100, 1000Mbps) and the length of the cable.
