TREND Networks R156005 Offers

The Trend Network SignalTek NT Network Tester R156005 and cable qualification troubleshooter is a copper and fiber network transmission tester that tests the performance of voice, data, video, and CCTV applications on Ethernet networks. The SignalTek NT network tester proves the performance that copper and fiber networks provide error-free performance up to Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates, making it the ultimate tester for technicians installing, maintaining, or troubleshooting passive cabling and active Ethernet networks where system warranties are not required. OverviewThe SignalTek NT Network Gigabit Tester utilizes a test method known in wide area networks as transmission testing to prove the performance of a network by sending real Ethernet data frames through the cabling and/or network devices to compare the error rate against the IEEE802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard. This provides a clear standards-based Pass/Fail of the link being tested.

The network transmission tester SignalTEK NT provides greater agility in setting up unique network scenarios -- by simulating actual VoIP, CCTV, web traffic, or IP video services -- technicians can comprehensively test and document that networks will provide flawless data transmission of that application. This testing capability is especially useful before adding new IP devices as it ensures that the network has enough capacity without degrading existing performance or requiring expensive upgrading. As an example, a technician adding IP cameras for video surveillance onto the network can simulate the number of cameras, resolution, and compression time.

SignalTek NT R165005 requires no configuration from the user as the two handsets automatically pair ready for testing: select a usage scenario to simulate the appropriate service from VoIP to CCTV, Video, and web traffic. In addition, the Trend Network SignalTEK NT uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to help locate common wiring faults that cause network slow transmission speeds and downtime, such as open and short circuits. It also has several time-saving functions to verify device, network, and internet connectivity, including port speed and duplex status, PoE/PoE+ availability, Port ID with LLDP and Cisco discovery protocol, network configurations, and tone generation for cable tracing. Installation testing. Cabling:Network traffic performance test on copper and fiber to IEEE80 2.3ab standard.

Wiremap test for opens, shorts, miswires, and split pairs to TIA-568 standard. Gigabit link verification for copper and fiber cabling. Use a list of wiremap templates for common Ethernet cable types including CAT 6A/7A/8, and non-Ethernet cable, such as Profinet and ISDN. Active Network:Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web trafficPoE/PoE+ verification that displays available voltage at the device location. Check Ethernet connectivity at device location to 10/100/1000 Mb/sVerify network configuration (device IP/gateway address/subnet mask)Switch port identification via LLDP/CDP protocols. Troubleshooting/diagnostic. Cabling:Distance to fault using TDR technology (copper only)Ability to identify and trace cables with a compatible amplifier probe (62-164). Optical power indication (with compatible SFP modules. )Active Network:Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web traffic.

Stress test network before installing bandwidth-hungry devices. Port blink to visually trace cable from work area outlet to network switch. Displays port ID of LLDP/CDP enabled switches to eliminate manual cable tracing. Identify network connection problems as hardware, network, or configuration faults. Ping local network devices and Internet URLs. Count number of hops between network points with traceroute tests. PoE load testing to confirm available power meets PoE device requirements. Test Reporting. SignalTEK NT automatically generates test reports in PDF or CSV format. The summary page of each report can be customized to include the logo, company, and operator details. Choose between 3 different reports that can show either passed, failed, or all test reports in each report.

Applications

• SignalTEK NT is used to quickly prove that Ethernet will work correctly after installation in cable installations such as SOHO or residential cabling where cable certification is cost prohibitive or where the end customer does not require the cable manufacturer's warranty programs.
• Workstation or Laptop has an extremely slow network access. SignalTEK NT can be used to run a simplified transmission test to check network performance
• A 100Mb/s LAN environment gets upgraded to 1 Gb/s. SignalTEK NT can be used to check if the existing (old) cabling can support up to 1Gb/s Ethernet
• An existing LAN installation gets upgraded to VoIP. SignalTEK NT can be used to check if both the cabling as well as the active components can support VoIP traffic
• After MACs (Moves/Adds/Changes) of active devices, SignalTEK NT can be used to ensure minimum bandwidth requirements are met.
• In industrial Ethernet applications, SignalTEK NT can be used to verify cabling performance to 100Mb/s or Gigabit requirements
• SignalTEK NT can be used to test throughput of an industrial Ethernet LAN
