Detect Link
Context
Virtual cable test (VCT) technology uses time domain reflectometry (TDR) to detect the cable status. When a pulse is transmitted to the end of a cable or a failure point in the cable, some pulse energies are reflected to the transmitting end. The VCT algorithm measures the time spent on transmitting pulses over a cable, reaching a failure point, and returning the pulses. The measured time is converted to the distance.
VCT can detect the fault type of a network cable and identify failure points to help locate network cable faults.
The VCT test result is only for reference and may be inaccurate for cables of some vendors.
VCT takes effect only on optical interfaces that have GE copper modules installed or GE electrical interfaces on the device.
Procedure
- Choose Click .Detect Link, as shown in Figure 5-18.
- Select the interface that you want to configure. Perform either of the following operations as required.
- Click an interface icon to select an interface.
- Drag the mouse to select multiple consecutive interfaces in a batch.
- Click multiple port icons to select these ports, and click a port icon again to deselect the port.
- Click the check box before a front panel name to select all the interfaces on the front panel.
- Click Apply. In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK.
