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

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
