If the above tests yield passing results and the problem persists, it may be
necessary to use the Fluke LAN Cable Meter to do a high-frequency analysis of
the suspect cable runs. This test will quickly indicate any anomalies having to
do with cable impedance and capacitance that would result in excessive signal
distortion or attenuation. This test will help to locate less-obvious problems such
as pinched or over-heated cabling that cannot be found with simple continuity
checks.
Chapter 5 covers the easy to use diagnostic features of the
DMXQConnect software. The diagnostics can be used to check for defective
Pathfinder internal hardware and to carry out system maintenance procedures
such as cable and termination integrity checks. Please take the time to
familiarize yourself with the capabilities of these diagnostics as they have the
potential for helping to save a great deal of effort and system downtime.
