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
