can also see the hub’s transmission speed and its ability to perform half or full-duplex communication or auto- negotiation. To determine your hardware revision, press from the top-level display.

If the polarity of the data on the cable’s receive pair is reversed, the cable on the Autotest display flashes.

NIC Detector

This test assists you in reclaiming unused hub ports. By looking at the LED status indicators on the hub you cannot determine whether a device is connected to the port or merely turned off. NIC Detector works by determining where there is any termination on the other end of the cable. If the Network Assistant detects an open cable, it will report that and the length of the cable.

Locate a Hub port that you suspect is unused but that has a cable attached. Remove the cable from the Hub and connect the Network Assistant to it. Then run the NIC Detector test.

Press (NIC Detector) to determine if the device is attached at the far end of the cable. The NIC Detector display is shown in Figure 5-4.

Flash Hub Port

Press (Flash Hub Port) to locate where a particular link connects to a hub. Connect the Network Assistant to

the link you want to locate. Press (Flash Hub Port), then select a flash rate (Figure 5-5). The Network Assistant sends either 1-second or 4-second link pulses
