Keypad
During the development of the KE7200 / 7100, emphasis was
placed on fast and simple operation. For this reason, the
KE7200 / 7100 has only seven keys, despite a wide range of
testing possibilities.
ESC Based on PC functions, the ESC key is used
to step backwards.
ON / OFF On and o󰀨 button. This key has a delay of
approx. 1 sec. when switching o󰀨.
Arrow keys The arrow keys are used to scroll UP ▲ /
DOWN ▼ and LEFT ◄ / RIGHT ►.
SEL SELECT key. This key is used to select a
function or start a test.
Test
Setup >
> Wiring
Here you can select the appropriate type of wiring from the list (which PIN for which wire). Howe-
ver, this can also be changed during the cable test. The specication of the correct type of wiring
is important, as all information on the wire pair and PIN assignment is based on this. Without this
information there is no OK statement possible from the test. Also, only the correct wiring deniti-
on can provide a split pair error message.
15 common variants are predened.
The following abbreviations are used:
UTP = Unshielded Twisted Pair
STP = Shielded Twisted Pair
CR = Cross Connect
> Velocity
Here the propagation velocity of the signal is entered in the cable as a percentage of the speed
of light. This information is required for length measurements with the TDR function. For correct
measurements please make sure that the VF value is as accurate as possible. The data can be
obtained from the cable manufacturer. If no information is available on the cable, the VF factor
can also be determined with a piece of cable of known length.
Determination of VF value
First carry out the cable test on this cable section without a remote. After completion go to the
Velocity menu, here the measured length is displayed for the set VF. Now adjust with the keys
▲ or ▼ until the known cable length is displayed. The VF value to be read is the propagation
velocity of this cable. You can use it to create your own cable denition in the Test Settings >
Cable denition menu.
> Cable type
Various frequently used cable types with corresponding VF values are predened here,
see page 13.

at www.kurthelectronic.de/ke7200-downloads. After receiving the required .upd le, connect the
KE7200 to the PC, then start the KE7200 Manager and select the Update KE7200 tab. Select the
.upd le to be installed in the dialog and click on 'Open'.
Now you are guided through the process with the window 'Update information:'. In the KE7200
select Settings > Device Settings > Program Update.

Then press the ◄ and ► keys
simultaneously.
The update process starts.
After approx. 1 minute the up-
date process is nished and
the KE7200 switches o󰀨.
> Test settings >
> Cable denition
Here you can select the cable to be used from the list of di󰀨erent cables. The name and the
corresponding VF value are assigned to the respective cable type, the VF value is required for
length measurement. The cable type only appears in the stored or printed result. It is useful to
enter the cable with which the work was carried out here. You can create your own denitions.
See page 13.
> Wiring denition
There are 15 di󰀨erent pre-dened wiring variants to help you make the selection. The correct
selection of the wiring version to be tested is essential for the good/bad information. Only if this
(pin to pair assignment) matches, can crosstalk be checked reliably. With the KE7200 / KE7100
not only a wire-to-pin assignment is checked, but also the correct pair assignment. This is done
with a high frequency in order to obtain relevant information. Here, too, you can create your own
variants. However, an existing denition must be overwritten.
> Remote ID
The KE7010 remote units required for correct and quick cabling verication are included with
No. 32 to simplify inventory management. Under Main Menu > Setup> Test Settings > Remote
Unit, a connected remote unit can simply be reprogrammed to the desired number. We recom-
mend writing the new number in the designated eld after changing the number.
> MAC address (KE7200 only)
The KE7200 is shipped with a predened MAC address. In order to be able to work in networks
with MAC address verication, the address can be freely dened here.
Congurations: The KE7200 / KE7100 is supplied with 15 predened wiring denitions
and 16 predened cable variants. New denitions can be created or existing ones
revised at any time in the setup.

> IP address (KE7200 only)
The IP address of the KE7200 is set here. This address is always used as device address, also
for an IP test e.g. as static network address. It can be changed at any time. Simply use the ▲
and ▼ / ◄ and ► keys to set the address and save it with SEL. However, the change can also
be made directly in the same way, e.g. during an IP test.
Performing the tests
The KE7200 / KE7100 checks the connected line for external voltage before each start of one of
the four test options. If present, the test is not started and the voltage level is displayed in volts.
The test can only be performed after the external voltage has been switched o󰀨. External voltage
has nothing to do with PoE for this detection. For PoE systems that operate correctly, the supply of
voltage must always be activated.
Cable test >
The cable test can be performed with or without the KE7010 remote unit. If it is performed wi-
thout Remote 7010, only eld length measurement and crosstalk check by overdrafts will be
performed.
When the remote unit is connected at the end, the length measurement using the TDR method is
su󰀩ciently accurate to determine whether the eld is in the 90 m range. This test measures up to
a maximum of 200 m. For the measurement of installed cables, we recommend carrying out the
length measurement separately without remote. This measurement is more accurate with regard
to the length, since a unique end can be detected without a remote.
Performing tests
Up to 32 remote units can be connected simultaneously to the ports to be measured using the
included patch cables. If only one remote is used, the remote must be taken to the next port after
the test has been completed. If a remote assistant is used, it can detect whether the test resulted
in an error by the ashing rhythm of the LED after the test has been completed. If no error has
been detected (slow ashing every 1 second) it can proceed to the next port.
However, we recommend the use of several remotes, one for each room. With the 32 possible
remotes, a patch eld area with up to 32 ports can be easily covered, even with somewhat larger
systems. The main advantage is clearly time saving, as only one person is needed. At the same
time there is a conclusive assignment of the measurements with the Remote ID in the documen-
tation.
Connect the KE7200 / KE7100 with the 0.5 m patch cable (included) to the port to be tested
on the patch panel.
Start the test with the scroll bar for Cable test by pressing the SEL button. The progress infor-
mation runs with the cable test and the progress is displayed in %. If the test was free of errors,
a long beep sounds and the OK checkmark is shown in the display. The LED on the Remote
ashes evenly every 1 second.
If an error is detected, two short beeps will sound, the LED on the remote unit will ash: 4x briey
(0.5 seconds), then a pause of 1 second, then again 4x briey and so on.
The KE7200 / KE7100 always shows the number of the remote unit in the upper left corner of the
display, followed by the type of wiring. This can be changed by pressing the ▼ key, after which
the set VF value is displayed. This is set either by selecting a cable type or by setting it directly
beforehand.

In the main window the so-called wiremapping is dis-
played. Here the possibly existing wiring errors can
be easily identied. Split Pair is displayed with a bran-
ching to the connected wire and back again, the mea-
sured eld length appears in the right eld. Lengths
below 2 m are not displayed – The measurement
is too inaccurate in this close range. The maximum
length measurement is approx. 200 m, but this also
depends on the cable itself.
The lower display line is the dialogue line. Possible
operating actions for the respective test are displayed
here.
With the ◄ and ► keys, the calculated details per wire
can be displayed. Thus, for example, an interruption
or a short circuit can be clearly assigned to the near
or far end. If the error is somewhere in between, the
value can be read in meters. The ◄ key shows the wire
lengths, the ► key the number of faults, the type of
fault, the a󰀨ected pin, where it should be if swapped
and where it is now as well as the length of the fault.
By its nature, only the linked pair can be dened for
split pairs. In some cases, individual interconnections
between other wires are also detected. This is due to
the fact that crosstalk also a󰀨ects other neighbouring
wire pairs due to the split pair.
It must also be ensured that the congured wiring vari-
ant (e.g. 568A) corresponds to the actual wiring.
Storing data (KE7200 only)
After the measurement has been completed, it can either be exited with ESC or the Save data
menu can be opened by pressing the SEL key. The preset name of the measurement, "Default",
followed by a number is displayed here. If the data should be assignable later, you must enter a
unique name here. We recommend customer name or number. The entry is made by pressing the
keys ▲ or ▼, which allows scrolling through the alphabet and the numbers from 0 - 9. Press SEL
to insert the desired character. The cursor position can be changed with the buttons ◄ and ►.
This name remains entered until it is overwritten again. This means that when saving the next mea-
surement, if it is still the same customer, nothing has to be changed. The number of the measure-
ment counts up automatically. You can then sort, print and save the data in the manager according
to the customer number or the name. It should be noted that the memory setting must be adjusted
at the start of a new measurement series in another installation.
In the second line the available memory space is displayed. A total of about 14,000 entries are
possible.

PoE/PoE++ Test > (according to IEEE802.3af/at/bt)
Start the test with the SEL key. The KE7200 / KE7100
activates the PoE port and outputs the correspon-
ding information in the display, whether PoE/PoE+/
PoE++ is present or not. If PoE can be activated, this
is done so. Then the maximum load is rst applied
to remove the charge from the cable, then the maxi-
mum available power is measured according to the
IEEE802.3af/at/bt standard. There it is regulated which
voltage must be present on the line when a certain cur-
rent ows. If this voltage is below the standard value,
the KE7200 / KE7100 switches the load back until the voltage is within the normal range again.
This power is calculated and then displayed. The test must be restarted for each measurement.
This information is important in any network with PoE
subscribers, as disturbances occur again and again
due to the load on the power supply in the switch
being at the limit. If a small additional load is ad-
ded, e.g. due to changed operating conditions such
as switching on infrared lighting, the network breaks
down and the switch only provides emergency pow-
er. This cannot be detected without appropriate test
equipment.
Some PoE switches also provide 30 watts per port.
These then work outside the specication.
Cable trace >
The KE7200 / KE7100 has two methods of identifying a known socket at the patch panel, switch
or hub: Plug the test cable of the KE7200 / KE7100 into the socket located in the room and select
the Link-Blink test in the Cable trace menu. The system now checks whether the socket is
active in the network and displays this in the status line. If the connection is active, the Ethernet
10/100/1000 Mbit connection information is displayed, whereby only the speed detected in each
case is displayed.
If the port is not active, No connection is displayed. Then you can switch to one of the four tone
transmission modes (1000 Hz; 880 / 1000 Hz; 2600 Hz and 2600 / 1900 Hz). Here, the search
tone is transmitted on all wire pairs. The optional PROBE can then be used to uniquely identify
the assigned port on the patch panel.

Network test (KE7200 only)
During the network test, the KE7200 can search the
network for IP addresses and thus participants. This
can be done in DHCP mode or with a xed IP ad-
dress. If the network also monitors MAC addresses,
the MAC address of the KE7200 can be adapted (see
page 8).
First the DHCP mode is activated by selecting Net-
work test > DHCP Request. As soon as a network
connection is established, it is displayed in the sta-
tus line and the IP address assigned to the KE7200
by DHCP is displayed. The request for occupied IP
addresses in the assigned address space starts im-
mediately. The number found is also displayed. The
KE7200 now queries all addresses for information and lists them. If names are available, they
are displayed, if not, only the IP address.
This process can take some time, especially if there are many participants in the network. You
can see the progress by the change of the found IP addresses. At the top of the screen, "Network"
is displayed. Selection with SEL shows general network information such as connection speed,
own IP address and network mask. The ▼ key scrolls to the next page. This will be displayed:
Domain name of the network
IP of the DNS server
IP of the DHCP server
IP of the router
Press the SEL key to save this data.
The subscriber list is opened with ESC. By selecting a subscriber, the IP and MAC address are
displayed in addition to the name. This address can then be pingled in this menu.
Selecting with SEL opens the ping menu. The frame
size is displayed in the upper left corner. The buttons
▲ and ▼ can be used to set the frame size between
32 and 1024 bytes.
Start of the ping test with SEL
The KE7200 now continuously sends pings to the
selected address. This is done at maximum speed so
that a stress test for all components is performed at
the same time.
The success of the test is indicated by the number of
pings sent and the number of pings lost. You can also
see the maximum, minimum and average response
times.

Attention – it can happen that not all computers in a network always respond within
the query time of the test device, as they may be occupied with other tasks. This is
due to the system-specic nature and does not represent an error. The query can be
repeated as often as desired.

with SEL. "Name:|" is displayed. A unique cable name can be entered here, 15 characters are
available. At the ashing cursor position it is now possible to scroll through the alphabet, all digits
0 – 9 and an empty position with the ▲ and ▼ keys. The digit or letter to be positioned at the
cursor position is selected with SEL. If the name is entered, conrm with SEL. The following
appears: "Velocity: xx%". This is the velocity of propagation in the cable as a percentage of the
speed of light, the VF value. Enter either the value specied by the cable manufacturer, the pre-
viously determined value or an approximate value.
Phone and Cat3 cables have approx. 64 – 68

>Wiring denition >
Here you can supplement the wiring variants used by you. It is useful to note the pin/pair assign-
ment of the wiring variant to be created in advance.
15 common variants are already predened. The abbreviations UTP, STP, and CR are descri-
bed on page 6. After selecting the menu item Wiring denition, the list appears. The rst item is
"NO TEST" – please do not revise this entry.
After selecting a wiring denition to be changed, you will be in the Name menu. A unique wiring
name, e.g. 568C, can be entered here. There are 15 characters available. At the ashing cursor
position, the ▲ and ▼ keys can now be used to scroll through the alphabet, all digits 0 – 9 and
an empty position. The digit or letter to be positioned at the cursor position can be selected with
SEL.
When the name has been entered, conrm with SEL. The Connections menu opens, where the
PIN is assigned to the PIN and wire pair as corresponding to the wiring variant. This assignment
is necessary both for the recognition of the correct assignment in the tested cable and of over-
drafts (split pair) with regard to crosstalk and for good/bad information after a successful test.
The scroll bar is set to Pin1.
Select with SEL and you reach the menu Connection to Pin 1. Now the possible selections of
all 8 pins which could be assigned to Pin 1 appear. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to select the correct
pin with SEL. The next step is the Pair menu, where you can assign the selected pins to a pair
with SEL.
You are now back in the Connections menu, where you can see the assignment of the rst pin.

Bridge Tap > Bridge Tap detection (optional)
Detection and localization of a Bridge Tap
With the software option, bridge taps can be accurately located up to a cable length of 150 me-
ters. The bridge taps, which are di󰀩cult to detect, cause signal reections (echoes) which have
a negative e󰀨ect on the signal and lead to DSL network problems.
Start the test with the scroll bar on Bridge Tap by pressing the SEL key. The progress information
is displayed with 'Branch detection running' and progress in %. If the test was free of errors, a
long beep will sound and the OK checkmark will be displayed. The LED in the remote ashes
evenly every 1 second.
If errors are detected, two short tones will sound and
the LED on the remote unit will ash: four times short
(0.5 seconds), then a pause of 1 second, again four
times short, etc.
The result is displayed in the main screen. Here
the branch is easily visible with the exact distance.
Lengths below 2 m are not displayed, the measure-
ment is too inaccurate in this close range.
KE-Manager (KE7200 only)
Installaing the KE-Manager
Run the KE-Manager, delivered as Ethernet_Manager_Setup_1_2_3.exe, on the PC. This in-
stalls the program and creates a screen link on the desktop with which the manager can be
called, and a Kurth_Electronic directory is created in the program les folder. KE-Manager is only
available for Windows versions Windows 95 and newer.

Running the KE-Manager
After calling up the program, the manager starts and displays its version number. After connec-
ting the KE7200 via the Ethernet interface of the PC and stelecting Transfer measurements, the
data is transmitted to the manager.
You can switch between the cable tests and network tests via the tab (see marking in the
screenshot). The selection tabs on the top are the same for both test screens.
Load data (PC)
Tests that have already been saved can be opened for display here.
Save all data
Here the tests transmitted by the KE7200 are selected for saving.
Show saved data
Once the data has been selected, it is saved as a separate list.
Delete marked line
This deletes a complete line of test results.
Print data
A print version of the measurements is created. You can store your company logo here for display
in the test report. A graphics le (.bmp, .dip, .jpg, .gif, .wmf, .emf, .ico, .cer) is displayed at the top
right edge of the sheet. We recommend a maximum size of 400 px in width and 250 px in height at a
resolution of 300 dpi. You can also select further settings for the appearance of the test report here.

Tips
After all data records have been downloaded from the KE7200, it is possible that these are data
or measurements from di󰀨erent customers. However, this assignment must already be done
when saving on location.
Selection / Sort by customer
In the upper left area the selection Show following measurements is available. A list with all saved
data sets is opened here. You can then select the customer you want to summarise, comment
on and print out as a report.
This selection can then be saved with Save shown data by entering their data (customer name,
number, etc.).
Customer address
In the lower section you have the possibility to enter the customer address, the technician and
any comments.
The address entered in the rst dataset is shown as the rst position in the report. Technician,
location name and comments can be entered separately for the individual data sets.
