Default How To Test Network Line Connectivity (i'm A Newbie, Be Nice Please :)...)

HI! I was wondering if someone could explain how to test a network connection from the wall jack to the patch panel using a LanRoamer when it's a live circuit. If i plug the main unit (of my LanRoamer) into the wall jack at the Workstation and the Remote one where the Cat cable ends at the Patch Panel, I get the "LIVE CIRCUIT" WARNING, which won't allow me to test if "line" is good or not. How do you get around this? How do u tell if it's a LIVE CIRCUIT??? Again, I'm new to this and I'm learning so please have some mercy... If anyone knows of any useful step-by-step guide or book with pictures, I would greatly appreciate it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
