The network Ethernet tester is capable of testing the actual link speed against the advertised speed of a switch. Initially, the Link Test LED will turn yellow, indicating a warning. Subsequently, in-depth test results can be obtained via Link-Live, which will illustrate the advertised speed versus the actual link speed when a Gigabit Switch port is only capable of linking at 100 Mbps.

Connection failures may be caused by an open, short, or split pair. Using the LinkSprinter, users can further troubleshoot the problem by performing a cable test.

Cable Test The pocket Ethernet tester validates cable integrity, and efficiently troubleshoots using:

• Cable Status Indicators: Identify and locate opens, shorts, miswires, and more
• Structured and Patch Cable Testing: Dedicated port for thorough testing and fault location
• Locate Cable Runs: Using switch port advertisement and light blinking

Flash Switch Port Use LinkSprinter to verify the connection path between the jack location and the switch port. By analyzing the CDP/LLDP packet from the switch, the pocket Ethernet tester can identify the switch’s name and port number. The tester also has the capability to flash the link light on its connected switch port, thereby allowing users to trace the complete path of the connection.

The LinkSprinter was designed to function as a tool that allows organizations to improve their efficiency in identifying problems and escalating trouble tickets, from the PC help desk on up.
