5.1 Akumuliatoriaus įdėjimas
The LAN-1 tester is powered by one 9V battery, which is typically pre-installed. If replacement is needed:
- Įsitikinkite, kad įrenginys išjungtas.
- Pagrindinio įrenginio gale suraskite baterijų skyriaus dangtelį.
- Remove the screw(s) securing the cover and carefully open it.
- Remove the old 9V battery and disconnect it from the terminals.
- Connect a new 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Įdėkite bateriją į skyrių ir uždėkite dangtelį, pritvirtindami jį varžtu (-ais).
The battery provides power for up to 20 hours of testing.
5.2 Connecting Cables for Testing
Before testing, ensure the cable is disconnected from any active network equipment.
- For patch cables (short cables not installed in walls): Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 or BNC port on the main unit and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote terminator.
- For installed cables (e.g., wall plates, patch panels): Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 or BNC port on the main unit. Connect the remote terminator to the other end of the installed cable (e.g., at the wall plate in another room).
