LinkRunner 10G Product Specifications & Features (English Translation)

• Leverage advanced AndroidTM-based troubleshooting applications and dedicated test hardware to upgrade technologies for installation, testing, validation, and troubleshooting of Multi-Gigabit (NBASE-T) and 10G networks

• Physical layer testing includes cable (TDR) testing, audio cable tracing, cable locating, and cable Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measurements for Gigabit links

• Compatible with standard-compliant SFPs, enabling testing and validation of any wired media (copper and fiber) across various usage models

• Verify Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices up to 90W (802.3bt standard) through TruePower-loaded PoE testing

• Pair with EtherScope nXG for wire-speed testing to validate network throughput, performance, and Quality of Service (QoS) between sites, as well as service provider Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

A Flexible Platform for Diverse Testing Needs

• Primary Test RJ-45 Port: Supports Multi-Gigabit networks from 10/100/1000Mbps to 2.5/5/10G. It verifies link speed, SNR, and nominal/negotiated duplex speeds, requests and validates PoE power under PSE loads up to 90W, and connects to fiber networks via single/multi-mode SFP+ for testing 1/10Gbps fiber-based Ethernet.

• Secondary RJ-45 Management Port: Connects to 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet for remote control, and enables network scanning/testing when needed. This port is also used for cable testing.

• The USB-A port connects additional USB adapters and third-party accessories (e.g., printers, barcode scanners, fiber inspection cameras).

• Via a USB-based Wi-Fi adapter (e.g., Edimax AC1200 for 802.11ac/b/g/n), third-party applications can be used for connectivity and wireless testing.

Simplify Tasks and Empower Technicians with Next-Gen AutoTest Technology for Complex Network Validation

AutoTest Configuration Elements Include:

• PoE validation for PSE switch ports up to 90W and TruePower? load testing

• Comparison of link speed/duplex nominal vs. actual values, and SNR measurement for Multi-Gigabit links

• VLAN-tagged traffic detection and monitoring

• Switch port identification with interface statistics, connected devices, and detailed information

• DHCP availability, response time, automatic detection of secondary DHCP services, and connection logs

• DNS lookup (forward/reverse) availability and response time

• Gateway availability and response time

• Active connection test targets (Ping or TCP Connect)

• End-user response time measurement via HTTP

• 802.1x authentication

• Each switch port supports multiple VLANs, with each VLAN having its own set of IP targets.

• Profiles are organized into profile groups, and tests are executed sequentially for each profile—enabling one-time validation and documentation of multiple VLANs.

• Predefined profiles can be run individually, making profile groups a valuable resource for technicians to validate specific VLANs during troubleshooting.

• Engineers can transfer their network configuration and testing knowledge to technicians via profile groups, saving training time and effort.

Multi-Gigabit Link Validation

• Cabling SNR Measurement: The LinkRunner 10G verifies whether copper media supports Multi-Gigabit speeds (1/2.5/5/10Gig) and provides root-cause diagnosis when link speed downshifting occurs.

24-Hour Monitoring for Intermittent Issues

• Scheduled AutoTest: In this mode, AutoTest runs at specified intervals (1 minute to 24 hours) and sends results to Link-Live for trend analysis over time. This enables efficient long-term monitoring of all network aspects and helps diagnose intermittent issues—eliminating the need for manual repeated testing.

• Results are automatically timestamped, and users can add comments for grouping or management.

• Filtering and sorting tools allow quick analysis of test results in Link-Live. Email alerts are sent when errors are detected.

10Gig Copper/Fiber Wired Performance Testing for Critical Links and Devices

• This performance test can run at full wire speed to measure high-end bandwidth and quality across end-to-end networks or specific segments.

• It can also be used to benchmark switches pre-deployment for optimal configuration.

• For troubleshooting on production networks (where excessive test traffic may cause disruptions), many users configure NPT for low traffic (even as low as 128Kbps) to characterize network quality, identify potential packet loss/latency/jitter, and validate QoS.

Additional Troubleshooting Features

• Packet Capture: Captures wire-speed traffic up to 10G to create PCAP files up to 1GB. Supports packet slicing and filtering; PCAP files can be uploaded to the Link-Live cloud service for easy sharing.

• Device-Level Investigation Tools: Tools like a browser enable device-specific investigations.

• Cable Testing: Determines length, shorts, split pairs, and open circuits in UTP cables. Uses the WireView adapter to verify wiring diagrams for UTP and ScTP cables. Generates analog or unique digital tones for Fluke Networks IntelliTone probes to enable fast cable tracing.

• Wiremap Cable Testing: Detects distances to fault points (including cable shielding).

• Android Applications: Users can download apps from the Link-Live App Store to perform tasks beyond testing.

Automated Test Result Management

• When the tester connects to Link-Live, test results are automatically uploaded to a dashboard for project management and reporting.

• Users can optionally upload additional files, screenshots, images, profiles, packet captures, location data, and notes at any time.

• Additionally, certain NetAlly devices with purchased AllyCare service can receive free firmware updates from Link-Live "over the network."

• Reduced costs for managing test results across multiple testers and users

• Seamless collaboration between on-site support technicians and remote support experts

• Attachment of photos and user comments to each test result for reference during future configuration changes or troubleshooting

• Asset management: Association of installed device serial numbers and cable/wall jack labels with specific test results
