●

Tone generator/Probe function: Places a tone (sequentially) on

all pairs of the cable. Use the Remote Probe and this tone to trace
the location of the cable (e.g. in the wiring closet).

●

Test for presence of a LAN device: If a device is present, the

wiring pairs involved are displayed on the LEDs. See below.

●

Cable Tester: Displays the cable pairs and other test results on

the Remote Probe's LED display. Further explanation of the use
of the Remote Probe can be found in section V "Learning the
Remote Probe's faceplate.”

Cable Tests only using the Main Unit (do not perform if PoE pres-
ent). The TVR1000 Cable Test jack senses LAN device connections
(without the use of the Remote Probe). Connections are displayed
on the LED panel below the jack (e.g. if LEDs “1,2” and “3,6” are lit,
it means that pairs 1,2 and 3,6 are connected to a device). The LAN
device can be ON or OFF. This test is most often used to verify the
presence of a LAN device at the far end of a cable but it also can be
used to locate cables that cannot support 100 or 1000 Base-T opera-
tion (some 100 Base-T and all 1000 Base-T devices require 4 pairs of
wire so all 4 LEDs must light). In summary, the tests performed by the
Cable Test jack (without the Probe) are:

●

Tests connection to hub (cable pairs connected to hub).

●

Tests connection to PC (cable pairs connected to PC).

CABLE TESTS Jack

The Cable Test section of the Main Unit

is an easy-to-use and very powerful

part of the TVR1000.

CAUTION: Do not plug the Cable Tests jack into PoE.

Damage may result.
