VeriPHY Cable Diagnostics
This page is used for running the VeriPHY Cable Diagnostics for 10/100 and 1G copper ports.
Press Start to run the diagnostics. This will take approximately 5 seconds. If all ports are selected, this
can take approximately 15 seconds. When completed, the page refreshes automatically, and you can
view the cable diagnostics results in the cable status table. Note that VeriPHY is only accurate for
cables of length 7 - 140 meters.
10 and 100 Mbps ports will be linked down while running VeriPHY. Therefore, running VeriPHY on a
10 or 100 Mbps management port will cause the switch to stop responding until VeriPHY is complete.
