I have an ethernet tester. It basically energizes one pin at a time and
LEDs at the other end indicates whether they are seeing current (so, if
there are shorts or miswirings, those are evident). I would really like a

Thanks for the response Rich,
Reading your suggestion, I realized that I might not check for shorts on the
final product. I fave rechecked it - no opens, no shorts.
Multimeter is a device for two point measuring voltage, current, resistance,
etc. Mine also has a beeper that is what I used.
So,
