Test-Um NT955 Series ValidatorTM Network Tests

If no telephone or voltage sources are found, Validator-NT attempts an Ethernet link. If a link is found, information about the link is displayed:

-Identifies the Ethernet connection

-Speed linked at (10, 100 or 1000 Megabit)

-Type of link (MDI, MDI-X or Auto MDI/MDI-X)

-Advertised Speed of the device

-SNR

-Skew if 1000 Mbit

-Frequency Offset – the difference in the data rate, in parts per million (ppm), between the Validator-NT and the installed far end equipment. The value should not normally exceed 100 ppm. Data errors are likely to occur at 200 ppm.
