Hidden feature - cable problems
RouterOS v6

2

Hidden features: cable problems. Should this work on the RB750UP? Not seeing anything different here.

3

Do you have RouterOS v5.21 and latest RouterBOOT (check routerboard upgrade menu). I can see it on mine

4

Yup. 5.21 and 3.0 firmware

We tested with v6rc3, we will have to fix the manual. Some devices were added in v5, some only in v6

8

Better fix the newsletter as well :slight_smile:

So which devices do work in 5.21?

9

Hi,

2011 with 5.21 and 3.0 works also no.

regards
Christian

so far it looks like driver is in v5.21, but console doesn’t show relevant info.

only RouterOS v6 supports the cable diagnostic at this point

11

And 5.22 will support Cable test?

I believe it’s not working at all on RB750GL. I tried on 5.21, then upgraded to the 6.0RC:

750GL, 750, SXT G, 711G, 2011 will be added in v6rc4

14

Sweet.

15

Most of the links do not work. For example, on the last page.

16

Łukasz,
thank you very much for the report.
We will fix links in the newsletter.

17

this is normal for portable devices like phones and tablets. it works fine on a PC using Acrobat reader

18

I tried on PC with win xp sp2 and acrobat reader 10.1.4.38.
Link on first page work without issue. Links on last page does not work.

19

No luck with cable monitoring in RC4 on RB750GL.

20

… But it does work on the RB2011L FastE ports.
