NetAlly LinkRunner - Model G2 - Smart Network Tester

As part of the LinkRunner Product Family, the LinkRunner G2 is:

• Part of a product family that has been trusted by network professionals for over two decades.
• A speedy and comprehensive Ethernet network connectivity testing solution.
• Suitable for users of all proficiency levels, it helps to simplify installation, validation, and troubleshooting of access networks.
• A cost-effective, portable, and user-friendly handheld tool.

Home Screen - AutoTest
The LinkRunner G2’s AutoTest is the main screen. It performs an advanced set of network functional-tests automatically when network link is detected on its RJ-45 interface. It verifies link speed, PoE, VLAN, DHCP, Gateway, and connectivity to key devices. It is customizable to verify the network at various stages of completion. The AutoTest result is automatically uploaded to the complimentary Link-Live Cloud Portal for storage and report generation.

Benefits:
The LinkRunner G2 offers automated hardware tests for PoE, cable, VLAN, and link speed that would be difficult if not impossible for laptop or mobile phone to conduct. With the flexibility of adding Android Apps, it empowers the onsite team to get the network up and running quickly.

Tools
Users can save or load AutoTest profiles, change settings, and launch advanced tools such as VLAN Monitor and Packet Capture.

Advanced settings such as “”Stop After”” allows the LinkRunner G2 to verify the network at various stages of completion, such as when DHCP, Gateway, or Internet services are not yet ready. Different settings can be saved as profiles for sites/jobs.”

Benefits:
Allows the user to quickly adjust to the network environment by changing profiles on the fly, or modify settings as required. Technicians can easily access advanced tools such as VLAN monitoring or packet captures to accelerate root cause analysis during escalation.

Switch
Allows you to quickly validate switch connectivity and configuration.

Benefits:
Quickly view switch information, such as name/port, detected link speed/duplex, and VLAN configuration. If PoE is enabled, test the power that the switch can offer under load, against what the switch advertises.

Cable
Validate cable wiring and distance, or identify cable faults.

Benefits:
Quickly identify cable faults like opens, shorts, or split pairs. You can also validate the wiremap, cable length, or see if the other end of the cable is connected to a switch/station.

POE Test
LinkRunner G2 uses our patented TruePower loaded PoE test to functionally verify the ability of 90W Power Supply Equipment (PSE) to deliver the power required by the powered device (PD). It also tests PoE voltage and the cable pairs used by PoE Injectors.

Benefits:
Most PoE testers only check what the PSE advertises but do not test to see if the PSE can deliver the required wattage. Loaded PoE testing is critical when it comes to verifying high-power PoE applications. LinkRunner G2 provides the visibility you need to assure proper configurations, saving time and frustration.

Advanced DHCP Test
LinkRunner G2 supports a DHCP test and provides a breakdown of DHCP server response time. It supports DHCP options 43, 60 and 150 that are commonly used in VoIP and Wi-Fi AP deployment. It shows the IP Address of the Wi-Fi controller and VoIP Configuration Server offered under the DHCP options.

Benefits:
This advanced test function is not available in any other network test tool. This replaces the need to use a protocol analyzer to decode the DHCP packets to troubleshoot advanced DHCP server configuration issues, saving time and effort.

Add Pictures & Comments
Attach images or comments to the last AutoTest results uploaded to the Link-Live cloud service. The LinkRunner G2 has a built-in camera on the back of the unit to take snapshots of the site, or you can import an image from the photo gallery.

Benefits:
Simplify the process of documenting what the on-site technician sees by attaching images, screenshots, or comments to the test results. The information is automatically associated with the test result in the complimentary Link-Live cloud service for easy job report generation. This is far easier than relying on emails or manual consolidation of data and test results.
