FAQ
Why should I choose NetAlly?
With over 30 years of experience and having pioneered the first handheld network analyzer, NetAlly is a trusted provider of innovative network testing tools. Our wired testing products simplify complex diagnostics, enable network visibility, and facilitate team collaboration. This empowers network engineers to efficiently analyze and troubleshoot networks. We deliver reliable solutions backed by a deep understanding of the challenges in managing wired networks.
How do wired testers work for network cable testing?
NetAlly’s wired network cable testers work by sending signals through cables and analyzing the returning signals using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology. Unlike inexpensive continuity testers and less capable network testing tools which cannot detect issues like split pairs, this method allows for the precise identification and location (distance to fault) of issues within the cable, facilitating efficient installation validation and troubleshooting
How to test a network cable with a wired tester?
NetAlly’s network testers offer three options for testing network cables:
- Patch cords: Connect one end to the Ethernet port on top of the unit and the other to the port on the left side of the unit, then start the test. This should be done on every new cord to verify quality before use.
- Horizontal cabling: Connect one end to the cable test port and start the test. If not connected to a switch the tester will show cable length, and distance to faults.
- Thorough analysis of horizontal cabling: Use the wiremap adapter at the far end to identify miswiring, faults, and specific cable runs. Multiple adapters allow testing sequential runs without moving the adapter.
Test results can be uploaded to Link-Live for documentation and reporting.
How to test an active Ethernet link with a wired tester?
AutoTest, the core function of NetAlly’s network testing tools, quickly runs comprehensive tests on active Ethernet links. It validates:
- Ethernet link speed, duplex, and PoE (up to 90W/Class 8)
- Connected and monitored VLANs
- Nearest switch information (port, VLAN ID, IP, MAC, description, model)
- DHCP operation and connection details
- DNS server response time
- Gateway availability (IPv4 and IPv6)
- User-defined test targets (websites, servers, devices) using various protocols
Results show success/failure, performance metrics, and can be saved to Link-Live for documentation and troubleshooting.
What are the key features of NetAlly’s wired Ethernet testing tools?
