NetAlly LinkSprinter Testers

The LinkSprinter® Pocket Network Tester verifies functionality of copper Ethernet links and identifies errors in less than 10 seconds. The tester ensures network connectivity status and port information is documented for every link.

The comprehensive AutoTest measures PoE voltage; performs a switch link test; confirms the DHCP server is running and responsive; and verifies default gateway/router, an IP target, and cloud reachability. With the automated test results upload and annotation workflow to the secure Link-Live cloud portal, job supervisors can easily manage the progress of deployment and troubleshooting tasks of their team.

Speed & Duplex

The LinkSprinter can test the actual link speed against the advertised speed of a switch. First, the Link Test LED will turn yellow, indicating a warning. Then, detail test results can be obtained via Link-Live and will show the advertised versus the actual link speed when a Gigabit Switch port is only capable of linking at 100 Mbps.

Not being able to connect can be caused by an open, short, or split pair. Using the LinkSprinter, users can further troubleshoot the problem by performing a cable test.



Cable Test

When paired with your mobile device, users can view a detailed depiction of the cable it is connected to, showing each cable pair, cable length, and any miswires such as opens, shorts, or split pairs.



LinkSprinter Team Packs

The LinkSprinter was designed to be a personal tool that allows organizations to become more efficient at problem identification and trouble ticket escalation from the PC help desk on up.

Outfit your entire staff – Team packs include quantities of 5 or 10 units at a discounted price.
Note: The LinkSprinter holster is sold separately.

Blink Light on Switch Port

Verify the connection path between the jack location and the switch port using the LinkSprinter. LinkSprinter will identify the switch name and port number by analyzing the CDP/LLDP packet from the switch. The tester can blink the link light on the switch port it is connected to, allowing users to identify the full connection path.
