ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for monitoring and testing a twisted pair, particularly useful for an Ethernet network. First and second DC currents alternated with one another are applied to both ends of the line, asynchronously. By monitoring the potential on the line, a determination is made as to the condition of the line. For example, shorted, crossed, improperly terminated or open conditions can be detected. A visual indication of the condition of the line is provided and additionally, the visual indication provides an indication of the traffic level in the network.
