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 fullduplex 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.
