AXS-200/850

Cable Test Results - Wire Map

Wire Map Test Result: Gives the wire map test result for each pair.

When the link is up: The wire map result for each pair is given as seen
by the AXS-200/850 to get a link up. This means that the wire map result
may not correspond to the type of cable tested depending on the
cable(s) used and/or the configuration of the cable mode (MDI, MDIX,
or autodetection) on both the AXS-200/850 and the far end equipment.
For example, two crossed pair cables end to end used between the
AXS-200/850 and a far end equipment may give a straight pair (MDI)
wire map result.

MDI: Straight pair.

MDIX: Crossed pair.

MDI (-): For 1Gbps, straight pair with swapped wires within pair.

MDIX (-): For 1Gbps, crossed pair with pair A swapped with pair B
and/or pair C swapped with pair D.

Noise: Excessive noise on a pair most likely caused by a link
partner running in 10/100Mbps forced mode. In this case, no
propagation delay or length is reported and there is no comparison
with any threshold.

Note: For 1Gbps, both MDI and MDIX can be reported simultaneously since

crossed pairs detection is performed independently for pairs A-B and C-D.
