Quick and complete copper and fiber network connectivity testing
The LinkRunner AT Network Auto-Tester is the quickest and most complete copper and fiber cable network connectivity tester. This rugged, handheld network connectivity tester speeds troubleshooting and reporting with a comprehensive one-button AutoTest and zero-touch Link-Live cloud reporting. The LinkRunner AT Network Auto-Tester performs your required set of network connectivity tests in 10 seconds, enabling you to quickly and accurately identify and solve network connectivity problems. Cloud reporting automatically uploads network connectivity test results to the Link-Live Cloud Service for reporting and project management.
This network connectivity tester's key features include multiple user-configured AutoTests, cable length measurement, cable fault location and fault type, TruePower™ Power over Ethernet (PoE) tester, Ethernet speed and duplex verification at 10/100/Gigabit rates, fiber cable tester, twisted pair and fiber optic link testing, nearest switch identification, DHCP, DNS and Gateway connectivity tests, and Ping and TCP port connectivity tests to up to 10 user-selected targets. The network connectivity test results are saved on the network tester or automatically uploaded to the Link-Live Cloud Service with zero-touch. Manage network connectivity test results, projects and staff using the Link-Live Cloud Service. The LinkRunner AT Network Auto-Tester 2000 can also serve as a packet reflector at rates up to 1Gbps.
“I was amazed... this device was finished testing before I could even explain to one of my junior engineers what I was actually doing. I’ve been an engineer for more than 20 years and this device just gets me, it understands what my workflow truly is and what type of information I need to do my job.” Charles Morris, senior consultant at ACS, A Xerox Company
“After using the LinkRunner AT I can unquestionably say it will save this organization time and money while improving satisfaction. In fact, now that I’ve used it, I wouldn’t want to be without one.” – Thomas Franchina, Senior Systems Programmer, United Health Services
“Not only is the LinkRunner AT fast, but it’s incredibly thorough with the essential Ethernet connectivity tests I need. So while it speeds troubleshooting, it also gives me a high level of confidence in the results. If the unit says the connection is okay, I know it’s okay.” – John Heidelberg, Network Administrator, Jensen International
"This new tester speeds up troubleshooting as I never would have imagined.... especially for the price! For example you go to a station, plug it in, and in a few seconds you know not only that you have a link up, but you know the switch name that it's connected to, the switch port, the VLAN, etc. This is a huge time saver! Simply tracing a cable that is not labeled... or worse that is labeled wrong, can take hours. But with the LinkRunner AT1000 you know all the details... in a few seconds! I simply love it! Don't leave home without it!" – Guillaume P., Technician, BroadNetworx
With a three second startup and a user-defined AutoTest that performs your required set of connectivity tests in seconds, the LinkRunner AT network tester enables you to quickly and accurately identify and solve network problems.
The LinkRunner AT displays critical nearest switch information including:
You can quickly validate PoE performance by drawing actual power up to the 802.3at standard 25.5W. Load the circuit to stress switches, cabling and patch panels, all while measuring the voltage and pairs being used. The ability to validate the TruePower delivery before installing cameras, APs and phones ensures smooth deployment.
Validate the IPv4 DHCP auto-negotiation process, subnet and DHCP server. Verify IPv6 Link-Local and Global addressing.
The LinkRunner AT performs either a Ping or a TCP port open test to verify connectivity. The connection to the default Gateway, preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server is tested, including response time. The connection to up to 10 user-defined target devices, servers or services is tested using Ping or a user-defined TCP port number. Results include response time and IP address if a URL was used as a target.
Verify access to secure networks using 802.1x and MAC Access Control Lists (ACL). The included LinkRunner AT Manager Software can be used to configure 802.1x EAP type, download certificates, and enter passwords.
LinkRunner AT 2000 supports packet reflection for:
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.
Easily find opens, shorts, miswires, and split pairs three different ways:
The LinkRunner AT fully supports multiple languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Multi-language support included the LinkRunner AT user interface, getting started guide, user manual and supporting LinkRunner AT Manager software, help files and user reports.
Link-Live Reporting Mode
Enable the Link-Live Reporting Mode to have AutoTest results automatically uploaded to the Link-Live Cloud Service. This zero-touch reporting feature speeds and simplifies reporting and ensures that results are consistently saved. Append comments to each test result. You can even add an image to a test result – a photograph of the link under test for example. Results can be automatically saved to job-specific folders to simplify project management. Up to 10 results are held in memory in the absence of a network connection and uploaded later when a connection is available.
Link-Live Cloud Service
Link-Live provides important test results management and reporting capabilities, at no additional charge to the LinkRunner AT. It provides greater job visibility, project control, and fleet management for larger distributed environments. Test results are automatically sent to your secure Link-Live cloud account, providing organizations with a newfound ability to quickly and easily document their network, provide proof of performance and better manage jobs and staff efficiency. In addition, an e-mail of every test result is sent as it occurs, allowing the technician to annotate information about the test and even attached a photo. That annotation is then automatically added to that record in Link-Live, creating a very in-depth understanding as to the performance of each link and mapping endpoint images (wall jacks, devices, serial numbers) directly their switch slot and port.
Link-Live Cloud Service Features:
Local Reporting Mode
Enable the Local Reporting Mode to facilitate saving of AutoTest results on the tester. Save each result with a unique name. The maximum number of saved results varies by LinkRunner AT model. Connect the tester to your PC via its mini-USB port and use the LinkRunner AT Manager Software to view and manage the saved results.
LinkRunner AT Manager Software
For AutoTest results saved locally on the tester via the Local Reporting Mode the LinkRunner AT Manager Software facilitates management and analysis of test results, test reports and testers. LinkRunner AT Manager Software is an application installed on a Windows(R) PC.
