Selecting this button takes you to a menu of three manual tests that

report the condition of the cable and verify connectivity to network

devices. They are Port Discovery, Ping Test, and Hub Flash. Test

Results cannot be saved.

Port Discovery: Identifies an Ethernet connection and reports pertinent

information including speed of the link, type of link (MDI, MDI-X or Auto

MDI/MDI-X), Signal to Noise Ratio and Skew (if over 1000 Megabit). Also

Identifies telephone connections.

Ping Test: Simultaneously pings up to seven different IP addresses and

can be run in DHCP or manual addressing modes.

Hub Flash: Sends an intermittent link signal to flash the link status light

on Ethernet equipment.

soft key you can select an existing job to test or edit the job information

using the Auto Test menu functions.
