Go to the home screen, and we've connected our rj45 patch cable to the top of the tester, and from there, we're connected to a longer length of cable. The linkiq shows that we are connected to a 46 ft long length of cable, but it doesn't detect a remote id on the end, so technically it's open. Plug the other end of the cable into the remote testing device.
Plug the other end of the cable into the remote testing device.
It also allows us to check connectivity from one end to the other end.
