Interpreting Results
Definition of Errors – (See “Examples
of Wiring Errors”) The four fault lights are
discussed below in order of severity. The
severity has to do with the ability of the type
of error to mask lower severity errors. For
example, if there is a short in the cable,
miswires, reversals and split pairs cannot be
detected for the pairs involved in the short
fault. Multiple faults on multiple pairs can be
better understood by using the debug mode to
examine the errors one pair at a time.
Short – The pair has a low resistance
connection from one wire of the pair to the
other wire of the pair or to any other wire in the
cable or the shield. A single flashing pair light
and the short light indicate a short within the
pair. Multiple flashing pair lights and only the
short light indicate shorts between the pairs
involved.
Miswire – A wire or both wires of a pair are not
connected to the correct pins at the other end
of the cable. Debugs “from–to” format is very
helpful in visualizing what the specific miswire
is.
Reverse – A reverse is a special case of a
miswire in which the pair is wired to the correct
pair of pins or to another designated pair of
pins, but the two leads are reversed.
