- Link at 10/100/Gig – identify device capabilities and
confirm actual connected speed/duplex status
- Ping key devices – measure response statistics of
DHCP, default router, DNS server, and other key devices or URLs
- Verify 802.1X settings – authenticate on 802.1X
secured networks; enter EAP type, user name, certificates, and
password
- Detect PoE service – verify availability, voltage
level, and pairs of Power over Ethernet per IEEE 802.3af
specifications
- Identify port (C/E/LLDP) – identify nearest switch
address, slot, and port with Cisco, Extreme, and IEEE Link Layer
Discovery Protocols
- Test cable wiremap – test wiremap and length; detect
miswires, shorts, split pairs or opens; measure distance to
faults with TDR
- Locate and ID cable – use IntelliTone digital toning,
hub blink feature, or optional cable IDs to locate cables at
patch panels or wall jacks
- Document test results – save link, ping, PoE,
security, and cable test results in unit and upload to PC with
USB cable

Description
Empower frontline technicians with more problem solving
capabilities
Following in the tradition of the original LinkRunner, LinkRunner
Pro was designed to provide desktop support and network technicians
with a simple, dedicated tool for resolving the most common PC user
and device connectivity issues.
Because of rapid network evolution, today's connectivity problems
are much more complex than they used to be. Higher bandwidth
requirements have expedited Gigabit proliferation. Greater security
threats have necessitated tighter control measures like 802.1X. And
technologies like VoIP and WLAN have given rise to a greater
reliance on PoE for power. LinkRunner Pro recognizes these changes,
and empowers technicians to address today's new challenges.
Expedite trouble ticket resolution with professional link status
reports
When no test documentation is available, closing trouble tickets can
be a frustrating and time-consuming process. Finger pointing among
different groups and redundant testing are just a couple of the
wastes that occur. With today's focus on operational efficiency, IT
departments don't have time for wastes like these. LinkRunner Pro
can eliminate finger pointing and reduce redundant testing by
generating objective, professional link status reports that can be
printed or routed electronically. |
