MMX4x2 series – User's Manual 49
Cable Diagnostics
DIFFERENCE: This tool is available for the MMX4x2-HT200 model only.
The cable diagnostics is a useful tool to determine any cable-related issue in case of TPS connection. The
estimated cable length and the quality of the link are measured periodically, and the diagnostic window
number of errors during the extension is higher than what is generally deemed acceptable. The link might be
alive, but recovering of the received data is not guaranteed. #cablediagnostics
INFO: Each bar represents a differential line in the CATx cable. The inappropriate termination of the cable
usually causes high error rates. Check the cable terminations or change the cable.
