Select Enable to test cabling through a mid-span PoE (Power over Ethernet) device. Always
disable the AC Wire Map test when not testing through a PoE device. See Chapter 4.
Standard: The tester displays and saves plot data for frequency-based tests such as NEXT,
return loss, and attenuation. The tester saves data for the frequency range required by the
selected test limit.
Extended: The tester saves data beyond the frequency range required by the selected test
limit.
No: Plot data is not saved, which lets you save more results. Saved results show worst margins
and worst values for each pair.
The tester must be referenced to the smart remote the first time the two units are used
together. You should also set the reference every 30 days. See "Setting the Reference" on
page 3-1.
Cable ID Source, Current Folder, Operator, Site, Company, and Auto Save Results setting. See
"Preparing to Save Tests" on page 2-1 and "Automatically Saving Results" on page 1-24.
Set to the power frequency in the area where the tester will be used. This setting helps keep
ac noise (50 Hz or 60 Hz) from affecting wiremap and resistance measurements.
Select Yes to see a measurement grid on plots.
