The Advanced Cable Tester v2 was designed with the factory in mind. Once a valid cable connector module is installed and the user has selected a valid test profile, the tester is configured and ready to test. As soon as a cable is inserted, the tests defined in the test profile will start.

These are the steps to get started:

1		Connect the ACT v2 tester to the included power adapter and plug it into a power source. For optimal performance, the tester should be connected to ground using the Ground Lug.
2		Turn on the power switch to boot the tester.
3		Connect a USB cable from the ACT v2 USB port to a local computer. The ACT v2 tester uses the RNDIS driver. Please see Connectivity for more information.
4		Open a Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome web browser window.
5		Enter the USB IP address from the product label on the back of the ACT v2 tester. This will take you to the main web application interface.
6		Install a cable connector module into the module bay of the ACT v2 tester. Once installed, the module information will be displayed in the web application.
7		Configure the tester, Click on the Change button to open a dialog window to show the available test profiles.
8		Select the desired profile (and enter any tag information as required) and click Save.
9		The tester is now ready to test cables.
10		Insert a cable into the connector modules. When the cable is detected, the tests will start. A progress bar on the LCD screen and in the web application provide feedback.
11		Once the tests complete, the cable will either Pass or Fail the test requirements. The appropriate state will be displayed on the LCD screen and the web application. To re-test the same cable, click the Re-Test button in the web application. To test another cable, simply replace the cable in the tester. When the new cable insertion is detected, the test sequence will start.
