  Click or to return back the main menu.Two scan modes selectable: AC filter mode/Analog mode, up to 300m.
  3、Flash
  Select the in the main menu, and press the to enter the port flashing function. The screen displays the words “Link test..”, and the triangle arrow indicates the current
  position where the cable needs to be inserted.
  After finishing test, if test fails, the result will show “Time out”, maybe the cable is not plugged in properly or other reasons. If the test is successful, it will display the specific information of the current switch (FDX: full duplex / HDX: half duplex) Protocol (Auto-Nego / Non-Auto-Nego).
  And the two lights of the two ports will also flash at the same frequency. The circle in the screen will also flash with the port light, moreover, the solid circle and the hollow circle will flash synchronously.Hub blink for locating network port by the flashing port light on Hub / Switch. Available to 10M/100M/1000M Hub/ switch.
  4、Length
  Select the in the main menu, and press the to enter the length test function.
  When test the cable length, press to switch the cable type: Cate5 or Cate6.Press the or to select the unit, and then press the   to switch back and forth between the units (m/yard/feet). The   triangular arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted. If a certain cable is abnormally short, it will be indicated by a red line pattern.
  When test the cable lenght, you can switch the cable types according to following figure:The measurable cable lengths are:
  The screen display of length test function is as follows:
  Measure cable (cat5/6) length accurately,the range is 2.5~200m.
  5、PoE test
  Select the in the main menu, and press   the to enter the POE function test. The triangular arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted. Press the to return back to the main menu.
  If plug and unplug the cable connected to the switch, the data will be updated automatically.

  1. It will display: Non-standard/IEEE 802.3af/IEEE 802.3at, when test PoE standard.

  2. It will display: end connection method/middle jumper method/powered by 8 cores, when judging the jumper method.

  3. It will display positive and negative and voltage of the PoE switch, when judging the polarity.

1. PoE testing : identify which pins are providing power and detect how much voltage, identify which the type of PSE ( at/af standard )

6、QC testing for crystal head
Select the in the main menu, and press the to enter the crimping test function. The triangular arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted, and press   the to return back to the main menu.
Plug and unplug the cable testing, the result will be updated automatically. √ indicates that the channel is normal, and X indicates that the channel is abnormal.
7 , Optical power meter
Select in the main menu, and press the to enter the optical power meter function. The triangular arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted, and the data can be updated in real time. Press return back to the main menu.
The optical power meter can test the optical power and the attenuation value of the light. The white triangular arrow indicates the current selection item. From top to bottom, the top means the unit can be switched and the bottom means the wavelength can be switched.

1. Unit switching: can switch as dBm, dB, or mw, uw, nw
2. Wavelength switching: Enter the option, Click OK then you can switch the wavelength to 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1625nm.
3. REF Switch
   REF is used to test the attenuation value of light, insert the port of the unattenuated end under this option, long press to save the current unattenuated optical power and display the value in the blue display area on the first line of the user area, then plug the interface of the attenuation end into the test end, and click the OK button in this mode to switch the user area. The blue display area on the first row displays the attenuation value or the normal optical power data.

When you use meter funcation, can press the or to select the “unit” item, press the to switch the unit, select the “wavelength” item to switch the length of the wavelength.
When you use meter function, can press the and to select the”User value setting” item, press the to open the user value, press the   again, then select the “optical power” to be set, and press the and to set the optical power ± numerical value. Press the to return to the main menu.
When use function, press the and , select the “REF” item, and press the , the blue area on the first row displays the real-time attenuation data, and the blue area on the second row displays the previously saved unattenuated optical power. At this time, the unit is Forced to dB, and cannot be switched to other units. Press the to return to the main menu.
