LinkRunner AT 1000/200 0 Network Auto-Tester
I. INTRODUCTION
LinkRunner AT 1000/2000 Network Auto-Tester enables quick
verification of Ethernet copper and fiber (2000 model only) cables as
well as network connectivity and availability. The tester also
identifies the network device to which it is connected, measures and
displays PoE voltage and configuration, generates reports, and
serves as a packet reflector for performance tests conducted with
other NetAlly products.
The included Link-Live Cloud Service provides automated reporting
and options for organizing test results while the LinkRunner
Manager application allows you to save custom test profiles,
manually load results, and update firmware.
Link-Live Cloud Service
The Link-Live Cloud Service is a free, online system for collecting,
tracking, and organizing your test results, which are automatically
uploaded to Link-Live once configured. See “Link-Live Cloud
Service,” page 11.
LinkRunner Manager
LinkRunner Manager is a Windows PC application for updating your
LinkRunner AT software, creating profiles, storing results, and
generating reports. You can install LinkRunner Manager from the
included CD or download the app from Link-Live at https://app.link-
live.com/downloads.
