Test Details
Voltage Checks
This test checks for a voltage in excess of 5 VDC across each pair. If a voltage is detected
above the stated threshold, then testing will be inhibited.
Network Partner Check
This check looks for an active network device (i.e., PC/HUB). If an active device is detected,
the capabilities of the device are indicated with a tick as shown.
The capabilities ticked show the possible transmission
rates possible for the device detected (IEEE802.3 standard).
Below is a more detailed explanation of the capabilities:
10 Base-T: This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 10 Mbps half duplex.
10 Base-T FD: This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 10 Mbps full duplex.
100 Base-TX: This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 100 Mbps half duplex.
100 Base-TX FD: This indicates that the device is capable
of transmitting data at a rate of 100 Mbps full duplex.
100 Base-T4: This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 100 Mbps using four pairs.
1000 Base-T: This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at Gigabit rates.
Hub Blink: On detection of a network device, the NC-500
will output activity pulses. These pulses will blink the
activity LED on the network device at a steady rate.
Power over Ethernet: When connected to a network
device that has PoE sourcing capability, the NC-500 will
display "POE". Detection of PoE is only possible with
devices that are compliant to the IEEE802.3af standard.
NC-500 NETcat
