  SMART LAN

This motherboard incorporates cable diagnostic feature designed to detect the status of the attached LAN 

cable. This feature will detect cabling issue and report the approximate distance to the fault or short.  Refer to 

the following information for diagnosing your LAN cable:

  When No LAN Cable Is Attached...

If no LAN cable is attached to the motherboard, the Status fields of all four pairs of wires will show Open 

and the Length fields show 0m, as shown in the figure above.

  When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally...

If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub, the 

following message will appear:

  Start detecting at Port.....

  Link Detected --> 100Mbps

  Cable Length=  30m

Link Detected  Displays transmission speed.

Cable Length  Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.

Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a 

normal speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated.

  When a Cable Problem Occurs...

If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and then length 

shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short. 

Example: 

Part1-2 Status = Short / Length  =  2m

Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2. 

Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will show

Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
