Test Cable Connections
You can use the cable diagnostic feature to easily find out the health status of network
cables. If any problems exist, this feature helps quickly locate the point where the cabling
fails, allowing connectivity issues to be fixed much faster, potentially saving technicians
hours of troubleshooting.
If an error is detected, the distance at which the fault is detected is stated in meters.
(This is the distance from the port.)
To test cable connections:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 16.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays.
5.
Select System > Monitoring > Cable Tester.
The previous figure is an example. Your switch might provide more or fewer ports.
6. Select one or more check boxes.
7.
Depending on the model, click the Test Selected Port or TEST button.
The switch tests the cable connection for the selected ports and displays the results.
This process might take up to a few minutes.
