Status
The result of the analysis for the indicated pair can be one of the following:
 Good. Good cable/PCB signal paths, but no gigabit link.
 Crossed. Pin short or crosstalk along two or more cable/PCB signal
paths.
 Open. One or both pins are open for a twisted pair.
 Short. Two pins from the same twisted pair are shorted together.
 Noise. Persistent noise present (most likely caused by Forced 10/
100).
 GB Link. Gigabit link is up and running.
 N/A. Algorithm failed to reach a conclusion.
Link
Indicates the link connection speed and mode.
Status
The status after the test is run, either completed or failed. There are
several factors that could affect the test results:
 Link partner. Various switch and hub manufacturers implement
different PHYs. Some PHYs are not IEEE compliant.
 Cable quality. Category 3, 4, 5, and 6 may affect the test results.
 Electrical interference. The testing environment may affect the test
results.
Setting Adapter
Properties
Selecting Options on the Configurations tab allows you to view and
