What is NetTool?

What? More busywork to slow me down?

NetTool is easy to use and saves time! It is a unique

handheld device that combines cable, network, and PC

configuration testing into a single, handheld unit.

NetTool was designed specifically to speed your

frontline network troubleshooting, “moves, adds &

changes,” and desktop-to-network connectivity work.

I’m bored and want to kill time…

Access the

NetTool Users Manual

on the CD-ROM

disk that came with your purchase if you have a lot of

time to kill. Hey, you can also surf to

www.flukenetworks.comfor the latest news on

NetTool, troubleshooting tips, and service information.

How to use NetTool

I don’t have a lot of time to kill, how do I light this

candle?

NetTool has two RJ-45 jacks, one on either side of the

unit. Plug it in and turn it on…either between two

devices like a hub and a PC or directly into a wall plate

to check a network drop.

The first screen you see

when you power up NetTool

is the launch pad to all of

NetTool’s features. Press

the Select button to begin.

afq40s.bmp

Think of NetTool as your virtual eyes and ears in

checking PCs connected to networks. NetTool can be

used in two modes: Single-Ended Mode (page 4) and

Inline Mode (page 7).

Note

If you have not registered your NetTool you

will see a Registration Reminder Screen

followed by a screen that displays how many

option trials remain.

Be sure to install NetTool Blaster and

NetTool Toolkit, the PC-based software that

came with your purchase on CD-ROM (check

the online help for those programs for more

information). These software programs

enable you to transfer data between a

NetTool and a PC.

Note

To optimize discovery, connect NetTool with

the device (like a PC) off, turn NetTool on,

press AutoTest, then turn the device on.

⇒Plug an RJ-45 (supplied PN 642774) cable into a

network drop or a single network device, such as a

hub, PC, server, or printer.

⇒Plug the other end of the cable into either side of

NetTool, power up NetTool, and start AutoTest by

pressing the Select (middle) button. The NetTool

screen displays the NetTool icon and the other

device icon.

afq01f.eps

Use this mode to quickly prove a network drop or

network device is active, determine its speed and

duplex settings, confirm healthy frames are being sent,

or check connectivity to the network (when plugged into

a hub or switch). Check

AutoTest

(page 22) for more

information on the icons. Check

Ping

(page 30) to

learn how to ping a device while in single-ended mode.

Cable Testing

You can check cable length, detect split pairs, or use

the wiremap adapter (supplied PN 1563930) to verify

pin-to-pin continuity from the near to the far end of a

cable.

Cable Test

⇒Plug the cable to test

into the jack on either

side of the NetTool.

Power up NetTool.

AutoTest flashes.

Press Select.

⇒Highlight the Spool icon

and press Select to

see cable status.

NetTool detects cable

length, opens, shorts,

and split pairs.

⇒This applies for patch

cables as well except

you would plug both

ends in to the NetTool

and then press Select.

Wiremap

When both ends of a cable cannot be connected to

NetTool (e.g., one end is in wiring closet), use the

external wiremap function.

⇒Attach the near end of the cable to the NetTool.

⇒Attach the wiremap adapter to the far end of the

cable.

⇒Power up NetTool.

AutoTest flashes.

⇒Press Select.

⇒Highlight the Wiremap

icon and press Select.

⇒If pin configuration

checks out and there

are no opens, shorts or

split pairs, you can rule

out the cable as the

cause of a problem.
