Using the Wiremap Adapter and Remote ID Locators

Terminating twisted pair cabling with the standard wiremap adapter or optional remote ID locators lets the tester detect all types of wiremap faults. Without this termination, the tester cannot detect crossed wires or crossed pairs. For a wire pair with one wire open, termination is required to detect which wire is open. Without termination, the tester shows both wires as open.
Using multiple remote ID locators helps you identify connections at patch panels. The tester shows the number of the locator connected to the far end of the cabling, as shown on page 30.
To connect a remote ID locator to a modular (RJ) jack in a confined area or to a 4-pin modular jack (RJ11), use the optional universal adapter and a patch cord, as shown in Figure 6.

Crossed Wires

Figure 10 shows that wires 3 and 4 are crossed. The the pin numbers flash to indicate the fault. Cable length is
53.9 m. The cable is shielded.
Detection of crossed wires requires a far-end adapter.

Crossed Pairs

Figure 11 shows that pairs 1,2 and 3,6 are crossed. The pin numbers flash to indicate the fault. This crossed pair is likely caused by mixing 568A and 568B cabling.
Detection of crossed pairs requires a far-end adapter.

Typical Causes of Crossed Pairs

•
Wires connected to wrong pins at connector or punchdown block.
•
Mix of 568A and 568B wiring standards (12 and 36 crossed).
•
Crossover cables used where not needed (12 and 36 crossed).

Split Pair

Figure 12 shows a split pair on 3,6 and 4,5. The split pair flashes to indicate the fault. The cable length is 75.4 m.
In a split pair, continuity from end to end is correct, but is made with wires from different pairs. Split pairs cause excessive crosstalk that interferes with network operation.
Note
Cables with untwisted pairs, such as telephone cords, typically show split pairs due to excessive crosstalk.

Connecting to Telephone Networks Wired in Star Topologies

Telephone cables wired in a star topology (Figure 20) are connected together at a bridge tap at the distribution center. The bridge tap connects each wire to all other wires of the same number.
The tester detects bridge taps and measures the distance to the bridge tap. To measure the length of each cable connected to the bridge tap, connect the wiremap adapter or remote ID locator to the bridge tap and the tester to the wall outlet.
The tester cannot measure length past the bridge tap because reflections from the bridge tap connections interfere with measurements.
If you connect the tester to the bridge tap, the tester measures the length only to the bridge tap, which is only the patch cord length.

Connecting to Telephone Networks Wired in Bus Topologies

Telephone cables wired in a bus topology (Figure 21) connect the wall outlets in series. In this topology, you measure the length from the last outlet to the wiremap adapter.
If you connect to an outlet in the middle of the series, the tester reports a bridge tap. The length reported is the length to the outlet, which is the patch cord length. The tester cannot measure length past the outlet because reflections from the cables on either side interfere with measurements.
If you are unsure which outlet is the last in the bus, do the following:
1
Connect the wiremap adapter or ID locator to the beginning of the bus at the distribution center.
2
Connect the tester to an outlet and run the twisted pair cable test.
If the tester reports a bridge tap, move to another outlet. The last outlet will not show a bridge tap, and will show the length to the distribution center.

MicroScanner PoE

To select PoE mode, press .
The display shows (searching) while the tester looks for PoE.
MicroScanner PoE uses the 802.3af, at, and bt standards at the hardware layer to negotiate and report PoE available from active sources. It can use the link layer with LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) for Type 2 sources only.
Notes
PoE sources do not always meet the wattage specification for their class.
The tester will verify the maximum power available if the source’s port is configured to respond to requests at the hardware layer only. If a source’s port is configured to respond only to LLDP requests for high power levels (Classes 5-8), the tester cannot verify the maximum power available from that source.
Older 802.3af and 802.3at sources will sometimes continue to supply power when you switch between the tester’s PoE and cable test screens. If this occurs, (not off) shows on the PoE screen. If you see this message, disconnect then reconnect the cable to the tester. The tester will negotiate with the source and show valid PoE test results again.

Calibrating Length Measurements

LEDs show the wiremap. See the IntelliTone manual for details.
Calibrating Length Measurements
The tester uses an NVP value (nominal velocity of propagation) and the signal delay through the cable to calculate length. The tester’s default NVP values are usually accurate enough to verify length; however, you can increase the accuracy of length measurements by adjusting the NVP to a specified or actual value.
EGK26.EPS
Figure 36. Using the Toner with the IP200 IntelliTone
Cable Map Function
The default NVP values are 70 % for twisted pair cable and 82 % for coaxial cable (MicroScanner

).
Note
NVP values can vary among cable types, lots, and manufacturers. In most cases, these differences are minor and may be disregarded.
