Frequently Asked Questions - NF-8601a Noyafa

How do I test the length of a network cable?
Connect one end of the cable to the MAIN RJ45 port on the tester, leaving the other end unconnected. From the main menu, select Length, then choose Network Cable and press START. The tester will display the length in the selected unit (meter, foot, yard).
What is the difference between M-S and M-R testing methods?
M-S method connects both ends of a LAN cable to the tester's MAIN and SCAN ports for continuity checking of the cable itself. M-R method uses the main tester and the remote identifier unit to check continuity for longer cables, including telephone and coaxial cables, but not for length measurement.
How can I trace a specific cable among many?
Connect the cable to the SCAN RJ45 port (or RJ11/BNC for other types). On the main tester, select Scan and choose the appropriate mode (Low Frequency, PoE Switch, or High Frequency). Use the receiver with the SCAN indicator red (for Low/PoE) or purple (for High) and follow the signal to the target cable.
What does the Port Flash function do?
Port Flash helps locate which port on a router or switch a cable is connected to. Connect one end of the LAN cable to the PoE/PING port on the tester and the other end to the router. Select Port Flash on the tester. If the cable is good, the router port will flash, and the tester shows a solid dot.
How do I test PoE voltage?
Insert one end of the LAN cable into the PoE/Ping port on the tester and the other end into the PoE switch or router. From the main menu, select PoE and press OK. The tester will display the voltage present on each pin.
What is the correct way to perform a cable continuity test?
For a simple continuity test, use Mapping from the main menu. Connect the cable between the MAIN and SCAN ports (M-S) or between MAIN and the remote identifier (M-R). The tester will show the wiremap identifying opens, shorts, crosses, or correct connections.
How do I calibrate the length measurement for a different cable type?
Go to Length > Calibration. Connect a known length of cable longer than 10m to the MAIN port. Use the +/- buttons to set the actual length, then press OK to save the calibration. Up to 9 calibration data sets can be stored.
What should I do if the receiver does not produce a tone during cable tracing?
Ensure the scan mode on the transmitter and receiver match. The receiver's SCAN indicator must be red (for Low/PoE) or purple (for High). If still no tone, adjust the sensitivity using the sensitivity button on the receiver.
How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?
The main tester operates for over 20 hours and the receiver for over 50 hours on a full charge. Charge using the included 5V 1A charger via the MICRO USB port. The built-in 3.7V lithium battery charges fully in a few hours.
Can I test cables that are connected to a live PoE switch?
Yes, but use the PoE switch scan mode when tracing cables connected to a PoE switch. For PoE voltage testing, use the dedicated PoE function. Never test on mains power circuits (e.g., 220V AC).

Parameter specification of PING functions

IP address: can obtain automatically any Internet device which has connected in the global. (Under a specific situation, users need to manually set IP address when can't be automatically obtain IP address.)

Local IP address: It can be set up, but it must be different with other LAN devices. Default gateway / Router: In the local LAN Router or gateway IP address.

Subnet mask: In the local LAN Subnet mask Remark :

Default gateway or Router or Subnet mask can be found by the same LAN internet; Start - operate - impute CMD, Start the command line program, after that type "ipconfig" can query it.

Data packet: can be set based on needs.

Usage :

  1. LAN communication device

Destination IP address was set to any one of computer in the same LAN, it can test the LAN whether is normal between mainframes.

  1. Network communication test

Destination IP address was set to any one of external network, such as 180.97.33.108, it can test the LAN whether is normal between mainframes. Instructions of the test result:

The host tester will send four 32 bytes data packages to the garget device; The time means the host tester Communication back and forth between the target device, that can judge the Communication if Stable and reliable. When it shows 1ms, it means the Communication quality is great.

TTL : the quantity between the host tester and the target device passed router or default gateway, TTL will reduce 1 when pass one router or default gateway, it can reflect network's topology. When TTL=4, it means the host tester connected the target device directly.
