function, speed dial and last dialed lists, without exiting
the current test application.
To select a test prole:
1. From the Copper Main menu, select Test Conguration
and press .
2. Select Prole to list and choose a prole already saved in
the internal memory.
3. Select Prole Details to view any of the saved test
threshold values and cable parameters.
4. From this function, you can also perform the following:
• Copy a test prole to a USB from the unit’s internal
memory and vice versa.
• Delete a prole from the unit (except the default prole).
• Reset the current test setup to the factory default prole
by selecting Prole Default.
• Save changes made to selected prole.
To Setup parameters common to all tests:
1. From the Copper Main menu, select Setup and
press
.
2. Select from the following menu items to setup copper tests:
• Phone Book to setup and save groups of phone
numbers.
• Cable Book to select, add, clone and delete a cable,
as well as modify its details; and load and save a Cable
Book.
• Application Settings to set up and save software
settings and values for the cables, using the following
pages: General, Standard, Identication, File
Name, and Buzzer. The General tab also allows you
to congure graph-viewing modes, and Capacitance
Measurement allows for 2- or 3-terminal testing.
• Factory Default to revert the Phone Book and/or
Application Settings to the factory default values.
• Test Lead Compensation to overwrite the current
test lead characteristics and start resistance and
capacitance compensation based on the cable
temperature of the test lead.
Running tests
To run a test:
From the Copper Main pane, select the desired test icon and sub-menu icon in the case of
Multimeter, Noise and Frequency Tests, TDR and Auto Test, and press . The test
automatically runs if the Setup / Application Settings – Test Startup Mode is set to Auto.
If not, press Start/Stop key to run the test.
Saving test results
You can save test results to an internal memory le or export results to an HTML, MHTML, or
XML report using a USB key, during or after a test. Each copper test includes a Save Result tab
opening a new screen to do so.
Note: User Auto Test includes an Upload / Save Result
tab which adds an Upload & Save button, and allows you to
upload saved Auto Test results to an FTP site or USB.
To set parameter values and save or export
results:
1. Press the up/down arrows to select the desired parameter.
2. Press the left/right arrow keys to view and select the options
OR
Press to open the on-screen keyboard to enter or edit
a value.
3. Press the up/down left/right arrows to navigate the on-
screen keyboard.
4. Select the desired function key to complete your selection.
5. Select Result File to save your results to an existing File
Name or Upload & Save your User AutoTest results to an
FTP site or USB
OR
Select Save or Export buttons and press to conrm
your selection. The le format for exporting results is HTML,
MHTML, or XML.
Reading saved test results
To read/upload/export/delete saved results:
From the Copper Main pane, select Result Manager.
1. Results Summary tab allows you to select a File Name and
view the results from a list of les previously saved in the
6100 internal memory or a USB.
2. From the selected results sub-menu, you can view the
following:
• Summary for test status, general and identication information.
• Result Details for measured results for each lead combination and cable parameters of
the test.
• Prole Details to view thresholds and setup parameters of the test.
• Phone Book for the phone entry dialed during the test. If the dialer was not used during
the test, the Phone Book icon will not appear.
• FED Details displays the FED (far end device) State value for the test.
• Upload tab initializes a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection and allows you to upload previously
saved User Auto Test les to an FTP site or USB. The Delete button is for deleting selected
XML les in internal memory.
• Export tab allows you to select a File Name or All les previously saved and export the
results in the following Report Format: HTML, MHTML, or XML.
• Delete tab allows you to delete a selected File Name or All les saved in the 6100
internal memory only.
Viewing Test Results
Once a test has run, the results obtained are displayed on
the screen.
Multimeter
• Tests included are: Voltage, Current, Resistance/
Shorts, Resistive Balance, Isolation, Capacitance/
Opens, Station Ground and Stressed Balance (if option
enabled). Select an icon to run a test, which will then
display pass/fail status and detailed test results.
• The Dialer can be accessed from the Copper Main
or Multimeter (if FED option enabled) menu, and is
integrated into all tests to give you quick access to the
manual dialer function, speed dial and last dialed lists,
without exiting the current test application.
• Threshold Settings can be set within each test.
Pair Detective
The Pair Detective test (a SmartR feature) consists of a
series of ten consecutive individual tests and applies a high
voltage to the line during isolation testing.
Note: Before proceeding with this test, ensure the line
is inactive.
• Summary displays the pass/fail status, the detected
device, DC-Voltage/Current and Isolation for each selected
inactive wire pair, as well as other detailed results.
• Isolation results display a ve-level indicator of the
measured isolation.
• Isolation Soak Time, Cable Setup and Threshold
Settings can be set up from the Summary page.
• Multimeter tab displays DC Voltage / Current and
Capacitance results, and Isolation which displays
Resistance and a Soak Counter for each wire Pair.
• TDR tab integrates a live TDR test and displays the
distance to the most signicant reection, in text and
graphical measurements.
FaultMapper
The FaultMapper test (a SmartR feature) locates bridged
taps, shorts, grounds, and opens, and displays the cable
faults in text and graphical format.
The TDR tab provides a shortcut to the TDR test.
