LinkRunner helps you perform the essential tests necessary for troubleshooting and solving physical and data link layer problems.

Link Identification

• Determine advertised and actual speed and duplex (10/100,1000, full/half)
• Network activity indicators
• Utilization gauge
• Auto-MDIX identification
• Auto-negotiation/strapped port

Service Identification

• Determine if the active jack is Ethernet, Telco, an inactive hub, NIC or Token Ring

IP Ping

• Manual or DHCP mode
• Ping the default router or user-defined target
• Ping responder

• Indicates if the DNS server or a user device is on your local segment or a remote network

Basic Cable Tests

• Cable length (to open)
• Opens, shorts, split pairs
• Patch cords
• Wiremap / Continuity
• Cross-over / Straight through

Cable Routing

• CDP/EDP precisely determines port location on Cisco and Extreme devices
• Cable Identifiers (1-8) can be used for documenting cable locations
• Tone Generator can be used with IntelliTone probe for tracing cables
• Flashes hub port for visual determination of cable location on a switch
