    Using a Fluke CableIQ, some questions.

    ANSWERS, thanks to Fluke Networks support: 1. SH should be selected only if shielded cable is being tested. 2. The CableIQ does not allow you to create or save custom lists. You can change cable IDs in the CableIQ Reporter software. 3. You can sort your results by Cable ID, Date/Time...

    Using a Fluke CableIQ, some questions.

    For those of you that own a Fluke CableIQ and are intimate with it, I have a couple of questions: 1. What does the "SH" setting test for in the Autotests, and what should it be set to? 2. Can I save my own definitions for lists, ie site, locations, etc. for saving results? Can I make my own...

    3920 wireless line distinctive ring?

    We've programmed in the line distintive ring and it works fine on the 18D's - the 3920 just rings the same tone for all lines. I don't think thye 3920 has the capability to do distinctive line rings. - Lewis

    3920 wireless line distinctive ring?

    So one can change the ring … but can you do so on a per line basis? So all other iine ring one tone, but a single line rings differently so you know when it's ringing? Wow, none of the documentation I've seen even mention the 3920 has a menu. Thank you!

    Wiring a 66 Block for small ACS system

    Hi, I'm wiring a split 66 block for a small Partner ACS system - 4 lines, 5-6 stations in a home office setup. I know I could simply put connectors on the cabling and connect lines and stations directly to the ACS. It would work and be less work than putting in a 66 block. I was thinking of...

    Hi all, normally I do network wiring, but am putting in a Partner ACS and have some really 101 basic questions if someone could be so kind and patient to answer them. 1). Are the in-line fuses that go on cross connects on a 66 block a good idea to install as a normal install item? 2). Can I...
