The Connection test consists of two subtests:
Cable Verification: provides cable length and
impedance information and identifies any problems
with the cable.
Signal Verification: verifies that the instrument is
detecting a proper signal at the input.
Note
Cable Verification and Signal Verification do not
apply when testing a fiber connection. For a
fiber connection, the Connection Test displays
the Fiber Loss Test which requires that the
optional Fluke Networks’ Fiber Optic Meter be
attached to the RJ45 port.
In the main pane, tap the
next to Connection to
expand the list so that you can see these two tests.
Cable Verification
Cable Verification includes tests that check the physical
layer cable and equipment to verify that they are
working properly.
Note
To run these tests, the instrument must
disconnect from the network, which causes
other tests that are running to stop. If you are
operating the EtherScope Network Assistant
remotely, the connection is lost, preventing the
instrument from being able to verify the duplex
of the connection.
