10. Application Notes for Typical Field Use
 
10.1. New Job, New Cable Installations
 
1.  A Layout using the Plan-Um software will be created conforming 
to the customers’ facility or residence and a job id created. 
 
2.  Cables will be chosen and run between agreed upon ports and a 
Comm. Panel or Patch Panel.  
 
3.  Check Cable Test Schedule against the Layout to make sure all 
ports are connected correctly. 
 
4.  The Job File from the Plan-Um software will be uploaded to 
the Validator-NT Main unit.  The Job File can then be accessed 
through the Job Manager on the Main Menu Screen of the 
Validator-NT.  
 
5.  The Cable Test Schedule can be sorted so that all CAT 5E 
cables are listed first or all CAT 5 etc.  This groups the types of 
cables for quicker testing at the Comm. or Patch Panel. 
 
6.  Once all tests are done, upload the finished Cable Test Schedule 
to the laptop or PC and print this as an End of Job report 
showing all the cable runs and PASS/FAIL results.  This should 
be attached to a copy of the customer layout for comparison and 
final checking prior to billing. 
 
10.2. New Job, Previously Installed Cables
 
1.  Create a layout using the Plan-Um software re-creating the 
customers’ cabling system using port and cable icons in Plan-
Um. 
 
2.  Name the job and upload it to Validator-NT for testing 
 
3.  Print out the finished Cable Test Schedule as an End of Job 
report for the customer to see what was tested and results.
