SIGNALTEK Operation Manual 7-7
also integrated into the Gigabit Ethernet chipset and is designed to
locate faults in Ethernet LAN links. Since the maximum specified
distance for Ethernet is 100m (328ft), the TDR was designed with
enough power to exceed this distance by 40% or measure cable
up to 140m (460ft).
Do I need to update the Remote Handset’s firmware?
When performing a firmware update, connect the two handsets
together with an RJ45 patch cord. While firmware updates to the
Remote are rare, when required, the Display handset will update
the remote via the RJ45 cord during the firmware update process.
Does SIGNALTEK meet residential standard requirements?
Yes. The TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) is
developing the TIA-570 standard that defines the requirements for
cabling and testing in residential applications. The TIA-570
standard describes verification, qualification, and certification as
methods to test cabling is residential environments. Verification
and qualification are recommended for all homes and certification
is optional.
Are multiple remotes available?
Since SIGNALTEK is an active Gigabit Ethernet bit error rate
tester, inexpensive passive remotes are not available as they
would not be able to support the level of testing required to qualify
cabling to IEEE 802.3 standards.
If my batteries die during a test or the unit freezes, will I lose
tests?
No. Every autotest is saved into non-volatile memory that is not
affected by losses of power. If the unit freezes during operation, it
can be reset by inserting a straightened paper clip into the reset
hole under the kickstand on the Display Handset. Removing a
battery for a few seconds will also reset the device.
