System Check

VCT is an advanced feature that integrates a

LAN cable tester on every Ethernet port on the

router. Through the graphical user interface

(GUI), VCT can be used to remotely diagnose

and report cable faults such as opens, shorts,

swaps, and impedance mismatch. This feature

significantly reduces service calls and returns

by allowing users to easily troubleshoot their

cable connections.

The Ping Test is used to send Ping packets to

test if a computer is on the Internet. Enter the

IP Address that you wish to Ping, and click

Ping
