LANMASTER 20 LINK TESTER

  • Identify LAN Equipment Configuration
  • Verify Link Operation
  • Display Level of Fast Ethernet Support
  • Detect Reported Faults

    LANMASTER LINK TESTER

    The NEW LanMaster 20 Link Tester from Psiber Data Systems provides LAN Installers and Maintainers a tool to quickly test Fast Ethernet (100baseTX) and Standard Ethernet (10baseT) links. Fast Ethernet LAN Products have a wide range of new features and capabilities. Auto-sensing. Auto-negotiation and Full Dupolx capabilities are optional requirements to the Fast Ethernet (IEEE802.3u) standard. Knowing equipment capabilities is essential to optimizing network system performanc. In just three seconds, the LanMaster 20 decodes the Link Signals and displays the exact configuration of the equipment connected to the Link. The Model 20 also verifies Link connectivity to the far end, tests for reported faults and determines polarity of the outlet or cable.

    FAST TESTS FOR FAST ETHERNET

    Network Administrators and Technicians are continuously involved in Moves, Adds and Changes (MACs) that require connecting new or different hardware to the existing Local Area Network. The LanMaster 20 identifies the configuration of the connected hardware without opening the computer to identify the model of the Network Interface Card or finding manuals for the Hub or Switch. Wallplates with multiple outlets are rapidly tested for 'live' links and far-end Fast Ethernet compatibility. The Model 20 also makes network maintenance easier by instantly displaying fault conditions reported by the far-end equipment.


    MANAGE NETWORK CONFIGURATION

    Fast Ethernet provides many new equipment features that can be configured during installation or operation. Auto-negotiation can be disabled, full duplex can be forced on continuously or the data rate can be manually selected. Tracking the current configuration for installed equipment is a time consuming network management task. The LanMaster 20 provides critical equipment configuration information with a simple press of a button.


    MOST NETWORK FAILURES ARE PHYSICAL LAYER PROBLEMS

    The LanMaster 20 is used on active netowrks to verify signals are actually being transmitted on the Link. Time spent troublshooting nod and segment problems is greatly reduced once physical layer connectivity has been verified. In addition, the LanMaster 20 shows wiring polarity so that you iknow if you are connecting to the network cable or not.


    AFFORDABLE TEST SUPPORT

    Every technician, service provider and installer can now afford to have Fast Ethernet test capability with the low-cost LanMaster 20. Managing and maintaining high speed networks with the handheld Model 20 Link Tester is simple and at a price that fits even the tightest budget.
