Instant-on operation—ready to run your first test in less than three seconds.

Get answers fast—user-defned AutoTest performs your required set of connectivity tests in seconds, enabling you to accurately and quickly identify and solve network problems.

Verify connection at 10/100/1 G over copper or 100/1 G over fiber—connect using copper or fiber, turn it on to see link status, connection type, signal strength and traffc.

Nearest switch and VLAN information—uses IEEE Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) plus the Cisco® and Extreme Discovery Protocols (CDP and EDP) to display the VLAN and nearest switch model, slot and port.

TruePower PoE testing—quickly validate PoE performance by drawing actual power up to the 802.3at standard 25.5W. Load the circuit to stress switches, cabling and patch panels, all while measuring the voltage and pairs being used. The ability to validate the TruePower delivery before installing cameras, AP’s and phones ensures smooth deployment.

802.1x authentication—verify access to secure networks using 802.1x and MAC Access Control Lists (ACL). The included LinkRunner Manager software configures 802.1x EAP type, downloads certificates and enters passwords.

Cable verification and toning—check patch cables using the built-in wiremap port including pin-to-pin connection, or installed wiring for length, shorts, opens or split pairs. The optional office locator kit allows identification of up to six unique ports for documenting cable plants.

IPv4/IPv6 ready—supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

Key device and application availability— instead of a ping, which is often blocked or disabled, LinkRunner performs a TCP port open test to verify application connectivity using IPv4 and IPv6. Router, DNS and DHCP servers are reported.

Document results—store up to 50 complete test results and download to your PC with the push of a button.

Designed for field use—six-hour battery life, one-handed operation and a rugged design.

Easy upgrades—the mini-USB port allows software upgrades in the field in minutes.

LinkRunner AT Functions

Graphical Cable Wiremap and Cable Details
Finds opens, shorts, mis-wires and split pairs on non-terminated cable with a WireView Cable Identifier and built-in wiremap port.

Cable Tests
Locate cable runs with toning, port advertisement, link blinking and wiremapping with up to six cable identifiers. Toning supports both analog and digital IntelliTone modes.
