LinkRunner^® AT

Cable Location
Locate cable runs with toning, switch port advertisement, switch port link light blinking, and remote cable identifiers. Toning supports both analog and digital IntelliTone modes.

Cable Wiremap and Length
Check patch cables using the built-in wiremap port, including pin-to-pin connection, or installed wiring for length, shorts, or opens or split pairs.
Easily find opens, shorts, miswires, and split pairs three different ways:
– On non-terminated cable
– With a WireView Cable Identifier
– With the built-in wiremap port on the side of the LinkRunner AT

The LinkRunner AT uses the 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.

The LinkRunner AT displays critical nearest switch information includes:
– Switch name and model
– IP address
– Chassis, slot, and port
– VLAN IDs
– Duplex and speed (actual and advertised)
– Signal Strength
– Connection (MDI or MDI/X)
– PoE voltage and power (actual and test limit)
– Graphical representation of power on pairs
– 1 Gig link on copper with PoE on port 30
– 1 Gig link on fiber on port 6

The LinkRunner AT packet reflector mode allows it to be used as a remote device during end-to-end network path performance tests to validate LAN and WAN throughput capabilities up to 1Gbps. The reflector mode can be configured to swap MAC and/or IP addresses.

LinkRunner AT 2000 supports packet reflection for:
– OptiView® XG Network Analysis Tablet
– OneTouch™ AT Network Assistant
– EtherScope™ Network Assistant
– MetroScope™ Service Provider Assistant
– Any device generating 802.3 frame or IP packet streams

Serving as a centralized test results and device management system, the complimentary Link-Live cloud service transforms team workflows with the ability to quickly and easily log, document, and report test activity from all LinkSprinter, LinkRunner AT, LinkRunner G2, AirCheck G2, and OneTouch AT hand-held network testers. Once the instrument is connected to the Link-Live Cloud Service, your test results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management and reporting. You have the option of uploading additional files, screenshots, images, profiles, packet captures, location information, and comments anytime. Also, certain NetAlly instruments with AllyCare Support can receive firmware updates “over the network” from Link-Live as they become available.

An API is available to retrieve and integrate data from Link-Live into other management platforms, such as your trouble-ticket application or network management system. This gives you the ability to easily provide proof-of-performance and better manage jobs and staff efficiency.

This unified dashboard of both wired and Wi-Fi network connectivity results enables you to:
– Reduce results management overhead for multiple testers and users
– Enables seamless collaboration between site personnel and remote experts
– Simplify report generation across media types for network deployment documentation
– Attach photos, user comments to each result, adding context for future changes and troubleshooting
– For asset management, ability to associate serial numbers of installed devices, and/or cable/wall jack label to specific test

Local Reporting Mode
Alternatively, you can enable the Local Reporting Mode to facilitate saving of AutoTest results on the tester. For AutoTest results saved locally on the tester, the included MS windows-based LinkRunner AT Manager Software facilitates management and analysis of test results, test reports, and testers.
