SMART LAN (LAN Cable Diagnostic Function)
This motherboard incorporates cable diagnostic feature designed to detect the status of the attached LAN
cable.
This feature will detect cabling issue and report the approximate distance to the fault or short.
Refer to the following information for diagnosing your LAN cable:
When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally...
1.
If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub, the
Status
fields
of Pair 1-2, Pair 3-6, Pair 4-5, and Pair 7-8 will show
Normal
and the
Length
fields will show
N/A
,
as shown in the figure above.
2.
If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a 10/100 Mbps hub, the
Status
fields of Pair 1-2 and Pair 3-6 will show
Normal
and the
Length
fields will show
N/A
.
However, because Pair 4-5 and Pair 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, their
Status
fields will show
Short
or
Open
, and the length shown is the approximate length of the
attached LAN cable.
When a Cable Problem Occurs...
If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the
Status
field will show
Short
or
Open
and the length shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.
For example, if it shows
Pair1-2 Status = Short / Length
=
1.6m
,
it means that a fault or short might occur at about 1.6m on Pair 1-2.
When No LAN Cable Is Attached...
If no LAN cable is attached to the motherboard, the
Status
fields of all four pairs of wires will show
Open
and the
Length
fields show
0.0m
.
