The DualRemote 350 performs the same tests as the WireScope 350, and is
controlled by the WireScope. The DualRemote displays information using LED
indicators.
| Control Buttons |
The DualRemote 350 has the same control buttons on
its face as the WireScope 350. |
| |
Power: The Power button turns the
unit on and off. |
| |
OK: Pressing the OK button does
nothing. |
| |
Scroll: The Scroll button scrolls
through the diagnostic indications. |
| Indicators |
|
| |
Pair Status Indicators |
| |
The pair status indicators turn green or red at
the end of a test to show the status of each pair. A red indicator means
the associated pair failed the current test. |
| |
Warning Indicators |
| |
The warning indicators denote conditions that
might prevent or impair testing. |
| |
Hub/NIC Detected: The Hub/NIC
Detected indicator means the DualRemote 350 is connected to a hub/Switch
port or NIC port, instead of to a port connected to the WireScope 350.
[This function is not yet supported.] |
| |
Voltage Warning: The voltage
warning indicator means the DualRemote 350 is connected to a line which
has a potentially damaging voltage present. This condition usually occurs
when attempting to test a line that is connected to a telephone
switch. |
| |
Calibration Required: The
Calibration Required indicator means the DualRemote 350 is not calibrated
to the WireSc pe 350. The autotest will not execute until the calibration
is performed. |
| |
Battery: The battery indicator
shows the current state of the DualRemote 350 battery charge. |
| |
When an external charger is supplying power to the DualRemote:
• The Battery indicator is steady green when the
battery is charging.
• The Battery indicator
flashes rapidly green when the battery is fully charged. It may flash
slowly if it is cooling between charging cycles. |
| |
When no external charger is connected to the DualRemote:
• The Battery indicator is dark when the
battery is operating normally.
• The Battery
indicator is red when the battery charge is low. |
| |
Test Progress and Result Indicators |
| |
Progress: The Progress LEDs show
approximately how much of the current test is complete, 1/3, 2/3, and
complete. |
| |
Pass/Fail: The Pass/Fail
indicator turns green when the test passes, or red when the test
fails. |
| |
Diagnostics |
| |
The Diagnostics section of the DualRemote 350
front panel provides more detailed information about failing test
results. |
| |
WS and DR: Indicate at which end of the tested cable
the measurement failed.
•WS lights when a failure occurs at the
WireScope end of the circuit
• DR lights when
a failure occurs at the DualRemote end of the
circuit.
•WS and DR both light when failures
occur at both ends of the circuit. To determine which failures occurred at
which end of the circuit, use the Scroll button. |
| |
A column of diagnostic indicators shows details
about the cause(s) of a
test failure. The failures indicated on the
DualRemote 350 are: |
| |
Wiremap: Turns red when a fault
with the cable connections is detected. |
| |
Split Pairs: Turns red when a
split pair is detected. |
| |
Length/Delay/Skew: Turns red when
cable length, signal delay, or skew are outside the passing limits. |
| |
NEXT : Turns red when near-end
pair-to-pair or power sum faults are detected. |
| |
Attenuation: Turns red when
attenuation is outside passing limits. |
| |
ELFEXT : Turns red when far-end
pair-to-pair or power sum faults are detected. |
| |
Return Loss: Turns red when the return signal loss
exceeds passing limits. |
| |
Other: Turns red when any other
failing test results occur. If the cable run has multiple test failure
causes, the Scroll button scrolls between diagnostic indications. The
current selection blinks. The pair indicators and WS or DR indicators
associated with the selected failure also blink. |
| |
Power |
| |
The Power LED turns green when the DualRemote 350
is powered on. |
