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 conversa-

tions between VoIP phones and the

network. Monitor ports for suspicious

traffic from spyware, malware, and

viruses. Discover key devices, problems,

VLANs and switch ports. Measure PoE

line voltage and current and verify

PoE pairs.

And if the problem is cable related,

NetTool verifies wiremap, displays

the distance to cabling faults,

and locates cables others can’t with

IntelliTone Digital Toning.

All this in a handheld, portable tool

built to take what you can dish out.
