The NetAlly LINKSOLUTIONS-KT-3K LinkRunner AT 3000 Network and Cable Tester comes with 2 LinkSprinter Pocket Network Testers. The LinkRunner AT 3000 is designed for frontline technicians who need fast and comprehensive validation of copper and fiber network links with powerful network connectivity troubleshooting. It features a large touchscreen and in-depth AutoTest that provides deeper network visibility. With tools designed to help with network changes and troubleshooting, this network tester’s quick cable test and switch identification functionality facilitates installation validation and fast problem isolation.

Test results can be automatically uploaded to the Link-Live collaboration, reporting, and analysis platform to improve teamwork between network engineers and technicians, creating greater job visibility, better project control, and improved tester fleet management. Independent management plane via wired or Wi-Fi connection (with optional adapter) allows remote operation and result uploading independent of the network under test. Simplify report generation across media types for network deployment documentation. creating greater visibility and users associate serial numbers on installed devices

The LinkSprinter Pocket Network Tester verifies functionality of copper Ethernet links and identifies errors in less than 10 seconds. The tester ensures network connectivity status and port information is documented for every link. The comprehensive AutoTest measures PoE voltage; performs a switch test; confirms the DHCP server is running and responsive; and verifies gateway/router, internal IP service, and cloud reachability. With the automated test results upload and annotation workflow to the secure Link-Live cloud portal, job supervisors can easily manage the progress of deployment and troubleshooting tasks of their team.

Results On Mobile Phone

LinkSprinter can be paired with a mobile device to reveal more information about the network test. First, connect to the LinkSprinter as a short-range Wi-Fi access point. Then, open the browser on a mobile device and type in the address 172.16.9.9. The webpage will allow users to view more detailed information, such as port name, model, server address, and more. When connected with Link-Live, users can also add comments to the testing results for further documentation.

Cable Test

When paired with a mobile device, users can view a detailed depiction of the cable it is connected to, showing each cable pair, cable length, and any miswires such as opens, shorts, or split pairs.

Speed and Duplex

The LinkSprinter can test actual link speed against advertised speed of a switch. The Link Test LED will turn yellow indicating a warning, and detail test results will show advertised verses actual link speed when a Gigabit Switch port is only capable of linking at 100Mbps. Not being able to connect can be caused by an open, short or split pair. Using the LinkSprinter, users can further troubleshoot the problem by performing a cable test.

Blink Link Light and Identify Switch Port Connected

Verify the connection path between the jack location and switch port using the LinkSprinter. LinkSprinter will identify the switch name and port # by analyzing the CDP/LLDP packet from the switch. It can blink the link light on the switch port it is connected to, allowing users to identify the full connection path.

Automated Test Results Management

Serving as a centralized test results and device management system, the free 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, test results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management and reporting. Users have the option of uploading additional files, screenshots, images, profiles, packet captures, location information, and comments anytime.
