Problem solved. There was a pair that was reversed but I did not
catch it the first round because it was not the pair that usually
gets reversed and I physically could not see the pair which was
reversed on the back of the patch panel. One of our cabling
experts reversed it on a whim and it worked. Thanks for
everyone's help and suggestions. But I am still curious if any
of the self testing or show status or something else can give a
more descriptive cause of a problem (ie transmit not
working/check for reversed pair, receive not working/check for
reversed pair, no terminal (oops I left the toner in), etc!).
Thanks!
