Overview
NETALLY LINKSPRINTER POCKET NETWORK TESTER
The LinkSprinter® Pocket Network Tester verifies functionality of copper Ethernet links and identifies errors in less than 10 seconds. The tester ensures network connectivity status and port information is documented for every link.
The comprehensive AutoTest measures PoE voltage; performs a switch link test; confirms the DHCP server is running and responsive; and verifies default gateway/router, an IP target, and cloud reachability. With the automated test results upload and annotation workflow to the secure Link-Live cloud portal, job supervisors can easily manage the progress of deployment and troubleshooting tasks of their team.
- Discover the nearest switch name and port information via CDP/LLDP/EDP, and verify link speed/duplex and connectivity to TCP/IP networks.
- Validate Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) voltage from power sourcing equipment (PSE) according to 802.3af/at standards.
- Light weight, fit in your pocket and replaces the need to bring laptop to verify network connectivity.
- Automate reporting and enable collaboration with result upload and management via Link-Live Cloud Services.
Results On Your Phone
- LinkSprinter can be paired with a mobile device to reveal more information about the network test! First, connect to the LinkSprinter as a short-range Wi-Fi access point.
- Then, open your browser on your mobile device and type in the address 172.16.9.9.
- The webpage will allow you to view more detailed information, such as port name, model, server address, and more.
- When connected with Link-Live, you can also add comments to your testing results for further documentation.
Cable Test
- When paired with your mobile device, users can view a detailed depiction of the cable it is connected to, showing each cable pair, cable length, and any miswires such as opens, shorts, or split pairs.
Speed and Duplex
- The LinkSprinter can test actual link speed against advertised speed of a switch.
- The Link Test LED will turn yellow indicating a warning, and detail test results will show advertised verses actual link speed when a Gigabit Switch port is only capable of linking at 100Mbps.
- Not being able to connect can be caused by an open, short or split pair.
- Using the LinkSprinter, users can further troubleshoot the problem by performing a cable test.
Blink Light on Switch Port
- Verify the connection path between the jack location and the switch port using the LinkSprinter.
- LinkSprinter will identify the switch name and port number by analysing the CDP/LLDP packet from the switch.
- The tester can blink the link light on the switch port it is connected to, allowing users to identify the full connection path.
Automated Test Results Management
Serving as a centralised test results and device management system, the free Link-Live cloud service transforms team workflows with the ability to quickly and easily log, document, and report test activity from all LinkSprinter, LinkRunner AT, LinkRunner G2, AirCheck G2, and OneTouch AT hand-held network testers.
Once the instrument is connected to the Link-Live Cloud service, your test results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management and reporting.
You have the option of uploading additional files, screenshots, images, profiles, packet captures, location information, and comments anytime.
Also, certain NetAlly instruments with AllyCare Support can receive firmware updates "over the network" from Link-Live as they become available.
An API is available to retrieve and integrate data from Link-Live into other management platforms, such as your trouble-ticket application or network management system.
This gives you the ability to easily provide proof-of-performance and better manage jobs and staff efficiency.
This unified dashboard of both wired and Wi-Fi network connectivity results enables you to:
- Reduce results management overhead for multiple testers and users.
- Enables seamless collaboration between site personnel and remote experts.
- Simplify report generation across media types for network deployment documentation.
- Attach photos, user comments to each result, adding context for future changes and troubleshooting.
- For asset management, ability to associate serial numbers of installed devices, and/or cable/walljack label to specific test results.
