Measure the impedance between the network cable pair at any point on a channel. Given a measurement at 1 kHz, the readings should be in the magnitude indicated by the following table:

 

...

The values for Z in the table do not take into account cable loop resistance and other factors such as the input impedance of any devices on the channel.  However, a reading in the indicated area should be sufficient as an indicator for correct termination in most cases.

Terminator Placement:

  • Free Topology: usually placed at SmartServer.

  • Bus Topology: one placed at SmartServer and the other at the far end of the bus
