LINEEYE Co., Ltd. released a new firmware (V1.10) for the line monitors LE-8500X/LE-8600X series on the 24th May. If you have been using the ex-version, please update it to the latest version.

1. Added cable diagnostic function (LE-8500X/LE-8500X-SE/SB-GE2/SB-T1E)

   Cable length can be measured using the TDR method. You can also check for cable breaks and short circuits at the same time. LE-8500X/SB-GE2 can also detect broken pairs of LAN cables. Additionally, since the NVP value can be adjusted, measurements can be made to suit the characteristics of the cable.
