If your LAN or WAN connection cannot transfer any data even though the configuration of the equipment appears to be correct, there may be a fault in the cabling. The cable test allows you to test the cabling from the on a LANCOM router.
1) Connect to the router via WEBconfig and go to the menu (Extras → )LCOS Menu Tree → Status → Ethernet-Ports → Cable-Test.
2) In the Arguments field, enter the name of the interface you want to test (e.g. ETH-1, DSL-1) and start the cable test for the specified interface by clicking on the Execute button.
3) Go to the menu (Extras →)LCOS Menu Tree → Status → Ethernet-Ports → Cable-Test-Results.
Possible results:
MDIx-Status OK: The cable is properly connected and the line is working.
MDIx-Status open with MDIx-Distance 0m: No cable is plugged in or there is a break within a distance of less than 10 meters.
MDIx-Status open with indication of an MDIx-Distance (e.g. 5 m): The cable is plugged in, but there is a defect at the specified distance.
Impedance error: The cable pair at the other end is connected with the wrong impedance.
