Technical Data

Email not responding? Who’s to blame?

Where to start? NetTool Series II

redefines how to track down and isolate

the source of connectivity problems

while providing the vision you need to

troubleshoot network devices.

The new Series II NetTool features

NetProve™ diagnostics – this easy,

one-button test proves if the network is

to blame for a connectivity problem. In

seconds, you can test connectivity to key

devices and service ports enterprise-wide.

NetTool’s inline vision provides a unique

view into 10, 100 and Gigabit links

to troubleshoot device problems fast.

Verify compatible configurations of

switches and PCs. Monitor the con-

versations between VoIP phones and

the network, and measure call quality.

Discover key devices, problems, VLANs

and switch ports. Measure PoE line volt-

age and current and verify PoE pairs.

And if the problem is cable related,

NetTool verifies wiremap and displays

the distance to cabling faults.

IntelliTone digital toning helps locate

cables others can’t, even when the cable

is terminated at a switch.

All this in a handheld, portable tool

built to take what you can dish out.
