 Introduction
In this project we show that how we check the LAN or any other cable
with the smart point to point checking method. In this method of wire
testing we pass voltage from one end to another end to each wire. If the
wire pass the voltage successfully then connected L.E.D is on and LCD
shows a message on screen.

So microcontroller check all the wires from Ist to eight one by one and
show the result on lcd. If all the points are okay then lcd display a ok
message at the last. If a single wire is not transfer a voltage then LCD
shows a NOT OK message.
 
In this project we use one microcontroller to control all the transfer
voltage and one lcd to display the messages. We use 89s52 controller,
which is a family member of the 8051 controllers. We use 2line and 16
character LCD to display the message on the screen.
 Basic Principle
In this method of wire testing basically we pass voltage from
one end to another end to each wire. If the wire pass the
voltage successfully then connected LED is on and LCD
shows a message on screen.

If all the points are okay then LCD display a ok message at

the last. If a single wire is not transfer a voltage then LCD
shows a NOT OK message.

Power supply
 Step down transformer : Step down transformer from 220 volt Ac to 9-0-9 ac. We
use step down transformer to step down the voltage from 220 to 9 volt ac. This AC is
further connected to the rectifier circuit for AC to DC conversion. Transformer current
rating is 750 ma.

 Diode : In this project we use IN 4007 diode as a rectifier. IN 4007 is special diode to
convert the AC into DC. We use two diode as a rectifier. Here we use full wave
rectifier. Output of rectifier is pulsating DC.

 7805 IC : This IC is used to gain regulated power supply. To convert the pulsating dc
into smooth dc we use Electrolytic capacitor as a main filter. Capacitor converts the
pulsating dc into smooth dc and this DC is connected to the Regulator circuit for
Regulated 5 volt DC.

 LED : LED is used to observe the correct functioning of power supply.

Processing circuitry
 89S52 Microcontroller : 89S52 microcontrollers is a low-power, high-performance
8-bit microcomputer with 8K bytes of programmable and erasable read only memory
(PEROM). The device is manufactured using Atmel high-density nonvolatile memory
technology and is compatible with the industry-standard 89S52 microcontrollers and
89S52 microcontrollers instruction set and pin out. The 89S52 microcontrollers
provides the following standard features: 8K bytes of Flash, 256 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O
lines, three 16-bit timer/counters, a six-vector two-level interrupt architecture, a full-
duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator, and clock circuitry.

 Crystal Oscillator : A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the
mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an
electrical signal with a very precise frequency. This frequency is commonly used to
keep track of time (as in quartz wristwatches), to provide a stable clock
signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio
transmitters and receivers. The most common type of piezoelectric resonator used is
the quartz crystal, so oscillator circuits designed around them became known as "crystal
oscillators.“
 Capacitor : A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric
charge. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two
conductors separated by a non-conductor. Capacitors used as parts of electrical systems,
for example, consist of metal foils separated by a layer of insulating film.
 LAN wire connectors : These connectors are used to connect the both ends of the
testing wire.
 LEDs : These LEDs are used to show the correct functioning of all the 8 wires of the
cable.

LCD Display
 LCD(2 by 16) : 2 by 16 LCD have 2 rows and 16 columns to display the output.This
LCD produce the message “ok” if the wire is correctly working and “not ok” if any
wire of the cable is defected.
 Diode :In electronics, a diode is a two-terminal electronic component that
conducts electric current in only one direction. 
 Resistance : The electrical resistance of an electrical element measures its opposition
to the passage of an electric current; the inverse quantity is electrical conductance,
measuring how easily electricity flows along a certain path.
Reset circuitry

 Switch : Switch is an electrical component that can break an electrical circuit,

interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another. The most
familiar form of switch is a manually operated electromechanical device with one or
more sets of electrical contacts.

 Resistance : The electrical resistance of an electrical element measures its opposition

to the passage of an electric current; the inverse quantity is electrical conductance,
measuring how easily electricity flows along a certain path.

 Capacitor : A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric

charge. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two
conductors separated by a non-conductor. Capacitors used as parts of electrical
systems, for example, consist of metal foils separated by a layer of insulating film.
 Applications
Network Testing is the prime application of LAN cable tester. It
holds its firm existence in the fast growing internet broad band's
present scenario. The fault in any of the wire in the cable can easily
be detected by the use of this small but useful instrument and the
speed can be enhanced very easily which was earlier dumped by the
cable fault.
Moreover we can find its application in the wired communication
channel. If a single wire in the cable is not working it will produce
some interference resulting to noise, hence it will distort the
information content and proper information would not be transferred
or received. By the use of LAN cable tester we can find the actual
fault in our network and make it appropriate.
The implementation of this LAN cable tester is efficient to those
organizations and industries where the use of LAN wire connection
more prominent.
