TPS Cable Diagnostics
The cable diagnostics is a useful tool to determine any
cable related issues in the case of TPS connection. The
estimated cable length and the quality of the link are
measured periodically and the diagnostic window shows
the middle, they turn red. It means the number of errors
during the extension is higher than what is generally
deemed acceptable. The link might be alive, but recovery
of the received data is not guaranteed.
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.
