A new Group of Field Testers
• The “classical” way of LAN testing:– Step 1: Verification directly after installing a
cable link– Step 2: Certification with a field certifier– Step 3 If necessary: Troubleshooting
• Advantages of certification– Manufacturers warranties– Application independent
• Disadvantage– High test equipment cost– Very complex measurements– Trained personal necessary for testing

A new Group of Field Testers
• There is a need for a less costly solution for– SOHO and residential installations– Smaller LAN networks– Network administration and
troubleshooting– System Integration– Fiber Testing
• New concept:– Test only those applications,
you really need!

Verifier Capabilities
• Check physical connectivity – Wiremap• Offers no performance measurements
– How good is the cable? We only know if it was punched down correctly
• No documentation – No memory or printed reports. – Installers must use hand-written check lists to
document with a verifier

www.idealindustries.com www.idealindustries.co.uk www.idealindustries.deIDEAL INDUSTRIES
Certifier Capabilities
• Very accurate performance tests to a specific set of measurement criteria– NEXT, attenuation, return loss,
ELFEXT, etc...– Meets TIA/ISO requirements for
measurement accuracy– Documents specific test frequency
points and reports data in a format defined by TIA/ISO standards

Who Uses Verifiers & Certifiers
• Verifiers – Anyone who installs cabling should be using one to verify minimum level of wiring acceptance.– Verifiers are like a Multimeter to an
electrician, its foolish to guess when a cheap tester can prove connectivity.
• Certifiers – Large “corporate” level jobs where consultants and system integrators are using system warranties as a way to get business and block out the small installers.– Certifiers are a means to end in many
cases. If not purely used to get warranty approval, they are used as a reassurance to prevent no-charge callbacks.

Certifying a Network
Certifying with 1 CAT6 / ISOE Autotest will guarantee that all known applications supported by CAT6/ISO E will work
+ Future applications designed for CAT6 will also work
Example: VoIP• VoIP was invented long time after CAT
5, but was specified to work with 100MBit Ethernet (100BaseTx) over CAT5 cabling
• A LAN network tested in 1998 for CAT5 will support VoIP !

A Case for Performance/ Qualification Testers
• Nearly 100% of all corporate, small business, and residential networks use Ethernet as the primary means of communication on both copper and fiber runs
• Test equipment for multiple protocols is very expensive, but for a single protocol it can be quite affordable
• The TIA is moving to “require” additional testing in residential installations (TIA-570)
• Use IEEE as a reference standard to pass/fail a link
-> Test only those applications your really need

1Gb

Qualifying a Network
• Proof for customers that a certain application will run
• Troubleshooting in existing networks– Typical problems
• Can´t connect to an active device• Connection is up, but the
data transmission is very slow• System check for a new application
– Example: A company has an old CAT5 network and wants to install VoIP telephony. Before buying an expensive phone system, the end user needs to be 100% sure that VoIP or Video over IP would work.The end user has two choices:#1: Re-test with a certifier to CAT5#2: Qualify each link with an “application tester”

How to compareQualification vs. Certification
• Suppose you want to determine if your race car can go 200MPH around a race track without crashing.
• You have two options1. Analytical testing2. Practical testing
Page 12© 2006 IDEAL INDUSTRIES
www.idealindustries.com www.idealindustries.co.uk www.idealindustries.deIDEAL INDUSTRIES
Analytical Testing
• Measure every possible parameter of the track1.Bank angle2.Sharpness of turns3.Pavement materials4.Weather conditions5.etc…
Page 13© 2006 IDEAL INDUSTRIES
www.idealindustries.com www.idealindustries.co.uk www.idealindustries.deIDEAL INDUSTRIES
Practical Testing
• Put your driver into the car, launch him down the track and see if he makes it!
• Certifiers (LANTEK) are analytical testers
• Qualifiers (SIGNALTEK) are practical testers

Strengths
Provides most comprehensive testing compared to competition
• True Gigabit Ethernet Qualification• Easy to use Autotest functions• Feature set – USB connectivity• Cost of operation/ownership• Fiber link qualification !
Page 28© 2006 IDEAL INDUSTRIES
www.idealindustries.com www.idealindustries.co.uk www.idealindustries.deIDEAL INDUSTRIES
Opportunities
• Growth of IP-centric services/devices puts this product in an expanding market– IP cameras, home automation, A/V
controls are all going to IP– Retail environments are moving from
RS-232/488 terminals to IP based terminals
– INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET– Residential cabling
Page 29© 2006 IDEAL INDUSTRIES
www.idealindustries.com www.idealindustries.co.uk www.idealindustries.deIDEAL INDUSTRIES
Who Does NOT Need Signaltek?
• Large installation companies that focus on corporate jobs need certifiers:– To provide documentation that
complies with TIA-568 requirements
– To obtain system warranties
(Certifiers are the only tool to obtain manufacturers warranties !)
Page 30© 2006 IDEAL INDUSTRIES
www.idealindustries.com www.idealindustries.co.uk www.idealindustries.deIDEAL INDUSTRIES
Who Needs Signaltek?
Anyone who installs cabling and wants to:1. Check the performance abilities of the link2. Provide proof/documentation of
performance3. Limit liability by maintaining records that
prove operation immediately after installation
4. Organize their own records by maintaining internal documentation of cabling they install
5. Grow business by offering more professional services to their customers
Page 31© 2006 IDEAL INDUSTRIES
www.idealindustries.com www.idealindustries.co.uk www.idealindustries.deIDEAL INDUSTRIES
Who Needs Signaltek? • Target Customers (with examples)
– SOHO and residential installers• In more and more private houses, a LAN
cabling is installed. – Installers of small commercial sites
• The classical “10 computer company” is not so much interested, if their cabling complies to CATx. They rather want to know, if they can run Gigabit Ethernet, VoiP, Web Browsing , etc…
– System administrators• During upgrades:
“Will my old CAT5 system support VoIP?”• Trouble-shooting: A new PC with GigE card
can´t connect to the Server– Industrial Ethernet
• Factories deploying Ethernet
