Section V. Learning the Remote Probe's Faceplate
The TVR1000’s Remote Probe adds cable tracing and

the Main Unit’s Cable Tests jack. The Remote Probe

jack (Main Unit). By combining cable tracing and pairs
testing in one unit, the TVR1000 Remote Probe has
uniquely turned a two step procedure into a one-step
process.
Tests performed by the Remote Probe (using the Main Unit’s
Cable Tests jack)
● Locates miswired cables.*
● Locates missing cables.*
● Tests installed cables (pairs wired and type).
● Tests patch cables (pairs wired and type).
● Locates and traces inactive cables.
● Locates active cables to hubs/switches and PCs
without interfering with LAN performance.
* Main unit only. Does not require the use of the Remote Probe

Use this capability to trace the location of wires inside a wiring
closet or wherever cables are bundled. For instance, it is very com-
mon for switch ports to be mislabeled or not labeled at all. These
problems can be solved by placing a tone on the wire (using the
