Intended/Proper Use
The KE7200 is a network and LAN cable tester.
It is used for initial startup tests, for checking data and telecommunications networks, and for troubleshooting. The results can be stored in the instrument or transferred to a PC. In the associated PC software, the results can be documented and logs created.
The instrument is used in data and telecommunications networks (Ethernet/RJ-45 cables, coaxial cables/lines, telecommunications cables/lines) without external voltage. It is hooked up using its RJ-45 socket and the supplied or optionally available accessories (see data sheet).

The KE7200 can be used to perform the following tests/measurements:

Cable tests with error display:
Detection of reversed connections, short circuits, interruptions, overdrafts (split pairs; as of 2 m), testing of the data line assignment with pin and pair assignment (wire mapping), cable length measurement, and determination of the distance to the error with TDR function
Network tests (Ethernet cable only):
IP test with listing of active network subscribers with name, IP address, and MAC address; detection of network speed 10/100/1000 Mbit; ping test, including stress tests
Power over Ethernet test (Ethernet cable only):
PoE/PoE++ test according to IEEE802.3af/at/bt
Port finder function (Ethernet cable only):

P310 Probe

The P310 probe is a non-contact test loudspeaker that receives the search tone signal transmitted by the KE7200 and makes it audible.
A flashlight function with a pure white light guarantees clear color identification of the wire markings in dark server cabinets. The flashlight turns on automatically when the instrument is on and turns off automatically when the instrument switches off.
The probe’s test tip is made of fiber-reinforced plastic with a bayonet catch for easy replacement on site. See data sheet for test tip replacement.
At the lower end of the probe, there is a socket connector for an earphone (3.5 mm jack plug) to allow signals to be heard more readily.
The probe is switched on and used by holding down the HIGH or LOW keys. The HIGH position is the most sensitive level for locating weak signals. The LOW position is for specifying which network port has been found, for example.
The P310 cannot detect the search signal in shielded cables! You will therefore find the search signal on the associated network port.
The P310 is also part of the EasyTest system for locating cables and wires. More information is included in the EasyTest product documentation.

Test/Measurement Settings

In order to perform all tests/measurements correctly, you need to make basic test settings.
In the Settings menu, you can select the Wiring Type for the test/measurement, select the Speed (VF factor) for the TDR function, define the Cable Type, and specify the IP Address of the KE7200.
The Settings > Test Settings submenu provides additional specific test settings, giving you the possibility of creating own cable and wiring definitions, managing the KE7010 remote units, and specifying the MAC address of the KE7200.

Settings > Wiring
Here you can select the desired wiring type from the list of various options (which PIN for which wire). This can still be changed during the cable test, however. The specification of the correct wiring type is important, as all information on the wire pair and PIN assignment is based on this. Without this information, it will not be possible for an OK statement to be issued by the test. In addition, only the correct wiring definition will allow a split pair error message to be sent.
15 common variants are predefined.

The following abbreviations are used:

UTP= Unshielded Twisted Pair
STP = Unshielded Twisted Pair
CR = Cross Connect

Settings > Speed
Here the propagation speed of the signal in the cable, the VF factor, is entered as a percentage of the speed of light. This information is required for length measurements with the TDR function.
Only with the correct VF factor will the cable lengths be determined correctly!
The VF factor predefined for the selected cable type is displayed by default (for cable selection, see page 14; for cable definitions, see page 14). The value can also be set manually via the ▲ or ▼ keys.
The data can be obtained from the cable manufacturer. If no information is available on the cable, the VF factor can also be determined with a piece of cable of known length.

Determining the VF Value
First conduct the cable test on a piece of cable without the remote unit. After completion this,go to the Speed menu. Here, the measured length will be displayed for the set VF. Now adjust using the ▲ or ▼ keys until the known cable length is displayed. The VF value to be read is the propagation speed of this cable.
You can use it to create your own cable definition in the Test Settings > Cable Definition menu.

Settings > Cable
Various frequently used cable types are predefined here (for a list, see page 14). The cable to be tested/measured is selected from the list of different cables.
The name and the corresponding VF value are assigned to the respective cable type (see page 14). The cable type name appears in the stored or printed result. In contrast, the VF value is needed for the TDR function.
You can also add to and change the predefined cable types (see page 14).

Settings > Test Settings

Cable Definition
The cable definitions are created here with a name and VF value, which can be selected for the cables to be tested/measured (see page 14).

Predefined cable types and associated VF values:

BELD DATATWIST 72%| BELD 3600 PB29     72%| UC300 HS24 S/F     67%| LEONI E5-70 S/       80%
---|---|---|---
BELD MEDIATWIST 72%| BELD 4800 PB29     70%| UC500 AS23 F/F     79%| LEONI F6-80 S/       80%

BELD 2400 PB28     72%| IS PROFINET           66%| LEON D1-20 SF/      75%|

Additional cable types can be created as well. Profiles that have already been created can also be overwritten.
After selecting the cable type to be edited, or alternatively an item without an entry, select it with SEL. Name:| is displayed. A unique cable name can be entered here. There are 15 available character slots. At the flashing cursor position, the ▲ and ▼ keys can now be used to scroll
through the alphabet, all digits 0–9 and an empty position. The digit or letter to be positioned at the cursor position is selected with SEL. Once the name has been entered, confirm with SEL.
Speed: xx% will appear. This is the propagation speed in the cable, the VF value, as a percentage of the speed of light. Enter either the value specified by the cable manufacturer, the previously determined value, or an approximate value.

Tip: Phone and Cat3 cables have a value of approx. 64-68, Cat5/6 cables approx. 72, and Cat6/7 approx. 77.
After entering the VF value, save with SEL. This allows you to quickly and easily predefine the cable types you use.
Wiring Definition
Correctly selecting the wiring version to be tested is essential for obtaining good/bad information.
Only if this pin to pair assignment matches can crosstalk be checked reliably. With the KE7200, not only a wire-to-pin assignment is checked but also whether the pair assignment is correct. This is done at a high frequency in order to obtain relevant information.
There are 15 different predefined wiring options to help you make the selection. The abbreviations UTP, STP, and CR contained therein are described on page 13. After selecting the Wiring Definition menu item, the Created Wiring Definitions list will appear:

Name| Pin to pin| Wire pair| Name| Pin to pin| Wire pair
---|---|---|---|---|---

Creating/Changing Wiring Definitions

Here, too, you can create your own versions, although you can only do so by changing an existing definition.. It is useful to note the pin/pair assignment of the wiring version being created in advance.
After selecting a wiring definition to be changed, you will be taken to the Name menu. A unique wiring name, such as “568C,” can be entered here. There are 15 available character slots. At the flashing cursor position, the ▲ and ▼ keys can now be used to scroll through the alphabet, all digits 0–9 and an empty position. The desired digit or letter at the cursor position can be selected with SEL.
Once the name has been entered, confirm with SEL. The Connections menu will open, where the PIN is assigned to the PIN and wire pair as corresponds to the wiring version. This assignment is necessary both for recognition of the correct assignment in the tested cable and of split pairs with regard to crosstalk and for good/bad information after a successful test. The scroll bar is set to Pin 1.
Select with SEL, which will bring you to the Connection menu for Pin 1. Now the possible selections of all 8 pins that can be assigned to Pin 1 will appear. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to select the correct pin with SEL. The next step is the Pair menu, where you can assign the selected pins to a pair with SEL.
You will now be back in the Connections menu, where you can see the assignment of the Pin
1. Use the ▼ key to move the scroll bar to the next item, and continue with the assignment as before.
If you create any incorrect assignments, you can only overwrite them. Alternatively, you can select the Device Settings > Reset to Factory Settings menu item. This will reset all changed wiring definitions.

Remote Unit ID
The KE7010 remote units required for correct and quick cabling verification are included with No. 32 to simplify inventory management. Under Main Menu > Settings > Test Settings > Remote Unit, a connected remote unit can simply be reprogrammed to the desired number. After changing the number, we recommend writing the new number in the space provided on the back of the device.

MAC Address
The KE7200 is shipped with a predefined MAC address. In order to work in networks with MAC address verification, the address can be freely defined here.

Settings > IP Address
The IP address of the KE7200 is set here. This address is always used as device address, including for an IP test, such as as static network address. It can be changed at any time. Simply use the ▲ and ▼ / ◄ and ► keys to set the address and save it with SEL. However, the change can also be made directly in the same way, such as during an IP test.

Application

You can perform various tests with the devices.

Cable test page 17
Cable/wire search via the port finder function (link blink function) or search tone (tone mode) page 19
PoE/PoE++ test (according to IEEE802.3af/at/bt) page 19
IP-Test (including network speed) and ping test page 20
Detection of branches / stub lines (bridge taps) page 21
The KE7200 checks the connected line for external voltage before each start of the test options.
If present, the test will not be started, and the voltage level will be displayed.

External voltage present:

The actual external voltage may be much higher than displayed!
The level of the external voltage is only displayed with an exact value up to 74.7 V. All external voltages > 74.7 V are displayed as 74.7 V.
Stop the test immediately if external voltage is present and disconnect all test leads!
A safety-critical condition may exist, and/or the unit may be damaged.
Fix the faulty network condition before continuing the test.
The test can only be performed after the external voltage has been switched off. External voltage has nothing to do with PoE for this detection. For PoE systems that are working correctly, the supply of voltage must always be activated.

Cable Test
The cable test can be performed with or without the KE7010 remote unit. If it is done without the KE7010, only field length measurement and checking for crosstalk due to split pairs will be performed.
When the KE7010 is connected at the end, the length measurement using the TDR method is sufficiently accurate to determine whether the field is in the 90 m range. This test measures up to a maximum of 200 m. For measuring installed cables, we recommend performing the length measurement separately without the KE7010. This measurement is more accurate with regard to the length, since a clear end can be detected without the KE7010.
The cable lengths can only be determined correctly using the correct VF factor! See page 13 f.

Test Execution
Up to 32 KE7010 remote units can be connected simultaneously to the ports to be measured using the included patch cables. If only one KE7010 is used, it must be taken to the next port after the test has been completed. If an assistant is involved, he can detect whether the test resulted in any errors by the flashing rhythm of the LED after the test has been completed. If no error has been detected (slow flashing every 1 second),he can proceed to the next port.
However, we recommend the use of several KE7010 units, one for each room. With the 32 possible KE7010 units, a patch field area with, say, up to 32 ports can be easily covered, even with somewhat larger systems. The main advantage is clearly time savings, as only one person is needed. At the same time, there is a clear assignment of the measurements with the KE7010 in the documentation.
Connect the KE7200 with the 0.5 m patch cable (included) to the port to be tested on the patch panel.
Start the test with the scroll bar for Cable Test by pressing the SEL button. The progress information is displayed with the Cable Test Running, and the progress is displayed in %. If the test was free of errors, a long beep will sound, and the OK checkmark will be displayed. The LED on the remote will flash steadily every 1 second.

If any errors are detected, two short beeps will sound, and the LED on the KE7010 will flash: 4× briefly (0.5 seconds), then a pause of 1 second, then again 4× briefly and so on.
The KE7200 always shows the number of the KE7010 remote unit in the upper left corner of the display, followed by the type of wiring. This can be changed by pressing the ▼ key, after which the set VF value is displayed. This is set either by selecting a cable type or by setting it directly beforehand.

The main window displays the Wire Mapping. Here, any existing wiring errors can be readily identified. A split pair is displayed with a branching to the connected wire and back again, with the measured field length appearing in the right field. Lengths below 2 m are not displayed. The measurement is too inaccurate in this close range. The maximum length measurement is approx.
200 m, but this will also depend on the cable itself.
The lower display line is the dialog line. Possible operating steps for the respective test are displayed here.
Use the ◄ and ► keys to display the calculated details for each wire. For example, an interruption or a short circuit can be clearly assigned to the near or far end. If the error is somewhere in between, the value can be read in meters.
The ◄ key shows the wire lengths, the ► key the number of errors, the type of error, the affected pin, where it should be if incorrectly connected and where it is now, and the length of the error.
By its nature, only the linked pair can be defined for split pairs. In some cases, individual interconnections between other wires are also detected. This is due to the fact that crosstalk also affects other neighboring wire pairs due to the split pair.
As a rule, it is also necessary to ensure that the configured wiring version (e.g., 568A) corresponds to the actual wiring.

Storing Data
After the measurement has been completed, it can either be exited with ESC, or the Save Data menu can be opened by pressing the SEL key. The predefined name of the measurement – Default – followed by a number is displayed here. If the data is to be assignable later, you will need to enter a unique name here. We recommend customer names or a number. The entry is made by pressing the ▲ or ▼ keys, which allows scrolling through the alphabet and the numbers from 0-9. Press SEL to insert the desired character. The cursor position can be changed with the ◄ and ► keys.

This name will remain entered until it is overwritten again. This means that, when saving the next measurement, if the customer is still then same, nothing will have to be changed. The number of the measurement will increase automatically. You can then sort, print, and save the data in the KE7200 Manager PC software (see page 22) according to the customer number or the name. It should be noted that it is necessary to adjust the memory setting at the start of a new measurement series at another system.
The second line displays the available memory space. A total of about 14,000 entries are possible.

Cable/Wire Search via the Port Finder Function (link blink function) or Search Tone (tone mode) (Ethernet cable only)
The KE7200 has two ways of identifying a known socket at the patch panel, switch, or hub:

Portfinder Function (link blink function)
Plug the test cable of the KE7200 into the socket located in the room and select the Link Blink test in the Cable/Wire Search menu.
It is verified whether the socket is active in the network. This is displayed in the status line of the KE7200. When the connection is active, information about the Ethernet connection with the respective detected speed is displayed. The associated port on the patch panel/router/hub/switch will flash.1
If the port is not active, No Connection will be displayed. Then you will need to proceed with tone mode.

Search Tone (tone mode)
Then you can switch to the tone mode in which one of 4 tones (1000 Hz; 880/1000 Hz; 2600 Hz, and 2600/1900 Hz) is transmitted to all wire pairs by the KE7200. The P310 probe can then be used to search for the search tone at the patch panel/router/hub/switch and to unequivocally identify the associated network port.

PoE/PoE++ Test (according to IEEE802.3af/at/bt)
(Ethernet cable only)
Connect the KE7200 to the network. Start the test with the SEL key. The KE7200 activates the PoE port and outputs the corresponding information in the display regarding whether PoE/PoE+/PoE++ is present or not.
The PoE standards are displayed according to the expected nominal voltages.
Higher voltages (fault conditions) can damage the instrument and pose a potential safety hazard.

If PoE can be activated, this will happen. To begin with, the max. load is applied to remove the cable charge. The maximum available power is then measured according to the IEEE802.3af/at/bt standard. This regulates which voltage must be present on the line when a certain current is flowing.

If this voltage is below the standard value, the KE7200 will switch the load back until the voltage is within the normal range again.
This power is calculated and then displayed. This information is important in any network with PoE subscribers, as disturbances will occur again and again due to the load on the power supply in the switch being at the limit. If a small additional load is now added, such as due to changed operating conditions like the switching on of infrared illumination, the network will collapse and the switch will only supply the emergency power. This cannot be detected without appropriate test equipment. Some PoE switches also provide 30 W per port. These then work outside the specification.
The test will need to be restarted for each measurement.

IP Test, Including Network Speed and Ping Test (Ethernet cable only)

During the network test, the KE7200 can search the network for IP addresses and thus subscribers. This can be done in DHCP mode or with a fixed IP address. If the network also monitors MAC addresses, the MAC address of the KE7200 can be adapted (see page 12).
The DHCP mode is first activated by selecting IP Test >

DHCP Request. As soon as a network connection is established,it is displayed in the status line, and the IP address assigned to the KE7200 by DHCP is displayed. The request for occupied IP addresses in the assigned address space starts immediately. The number found is also displayed.
The KE7200 now queries all addresses for information and lists it. If names are available, they are displayed – if not, only the IP address.
This process can take some time, especially if there are many subscribers in the network. You can see the progress by the change in the IP addresses found. At the top of the screen, Network is displayed. Selection with SEL shows general network information such as Connection
Speed, own IP Address, and Network Mask. The ▼ key scrolls to the next page. This will display the following:

Domain name of the network
IP of the DNS server
IP of the DHCP server
IP of the router

Press the SEL key to save this data.
It may happen that not all computers in a network will always respond within the query time of the test device, as they may be occupied with other tasks. This is due to the system-specific nature and does not represent an error. The query can be repeated as often as desired.
The subscriber list is opened with ESC. By selecting a subscriber, the IP and MAC address are displayed in addition to the Name, the IP Address, and the MAC Address. This address can then be pinged in this menu.
Selecting with SEL opens the Ping menu. The frame size is displayed in the upper left corner.
The ▲ and ▼ keys can be used to set the frame size between 32 and 1024 bytes.

Start of the ping test with SEL.
The KE7200 now continuously sends pings to the selected address. This is done at maximum speed in order to perform a stress test for all components at the same time.

It may happen that the network component is overloaded by the ping stress test and stops responding.
The success of the test is indicated by the number of pings sent and the number of pings lost. In addition, you can also see the response times (maximum, minimum, and average).

Detection of Branches / Stub Lines (bridge taps)
– Requires Branch Detection Software Option (coaxial cable and telecommunications cable only)
The branch detection software option (D720S) is a function extension that enables the detection of branches / stub lines. Not only can it be used to detect any branches / stub lines that may be present, but it can also locate them precisely up to a cable length of 150 meters. The branches/ stub lines, which are difficult to detect, cause signal reflections (echoes) that have a negative effect on the signal and lead to DSL network problems.
You can order the software option with your order or purchase it later from our service department (for contact information, see page 26).
Start the test with the scroll bar on Branch by pressing the SEL key. The progress information is displayed with Branch Detection Running and Progress in %. If the test was free of errors, a long beep will sound, and the OK checkmark will be displayed. The LED in the remote flashes evenly every 1 second.
If an error is detected, two short beeps will sound, and the LED on the remote unit will flash: 4× briefly (0.5 seconds), then a pause of 1 second, then again 4× briefly and so on.
The result is displayed on the main screen. Here the branch line is readily visible with the exact distance. Lengths below 2 m are not displayed. The measurement is too inaccurate in this close range.
