Collaborate - easily visualize and share survey data through Link-Live cloud service or AirMagnet Survey PRO
AirMagnet Survey´s simultaneous wireless site surveying capability leverages multiple adapters plugged into the same PC to provide users with a solution that emulates real-world client behavior (using active and iPerf surveys). Having an accurate wireless emulator tool reduces site surveying time and efforts, cuts cost by half and requires users to walk the floor only once to collect all required data.
With this wireless 802.11 site survey tool, users can create "what-if" scenaros to simulate a variety of changes to the network and preview the impacts. Options include changing access point transmit power, channel, SSID settings and the addition of environmental noise. Users can also simulate moving access points to new locations and preview the effect of adding additional access points. AirMagnet Survey PRO empowers users with the option of creating an automated channel plan for access points that avoids interference and over-allocation.
Outdoor Wireless Site Surveys
With GPS support and integration with Google Earth, AirMagnet Survey PRO provides fully-automated outdoor wireless site surveys. Users can leverage NMAE-compliant GPS devices to automatically collect outdoor wireless data. Users also can import street maps of any city in the world, and have the option to analyze results within the AirMagnet Survey user interface or exported into Google Earth for a zoomed-in view to any street within the city.
RF Spectrum and Voice-over-WLAN Surveys
Beforem making any design and deployment decisions, users can account for RF interference from non-WiFi devices. Users who own AirMagnet Spectrum XT can collect both WiFi and spectrum analysis data in a single survey and integrate the data into AirMagnet Survey. With this integration, users can visualize the RF energy at any location and identify/display the presence of non-802.11 devices interfering with the WLAN.
AirMagnet Survey addresses the challenges faced by network installers and IT staff when deploying VoWLAN networks. With a built-in voice readiness verification system, AirMagnet Survey allow users to ensure that their network design is aligned with the recommendations of the phone vendor. This system also allow users to perform real-world voice surveys by validating and plotting phone call quality, capacity and other voice specific parameters at every location on a floor map helping to identify and minimize issues.
Validate user and Application Requirements
The AirWise engine allows users to set wireless network design/application requirements, such as signal coverage, wireless network throughput, PHY data rates, 802.11 specific parameters and more to help identify any problem areas. Once set, users are alerted to the areas on the floor map that meet, or do not meet the requirement, enabling them to take the necessary action to solve the coverage, performance or capacity problems.
AirWise includes the option to create profiles based on real-world survey data or wireless network modeling data that can be used to verify WLAN deployment readiness for a variety of applications.
This single-click assessment of the WLAN network helps save time, effort and money by avoiding costly re-designs of the WLAN network and minimize IT troubleshooting costs. Users can generate a Pass/Fail report that enables an efficient hand-over of results of the survey to the installer or the end-customer.
Professional Custom Reports
AirMagnet Survey PRO includes a completely integrated reporting module that instantly creates custom outputs of site survey and simulations. Customized templates provide wireless 802.11 site survey users with flexibility by creating various reports based on project requirements. Users can customize reports further by including/excluding sections, adding in notes and customizing logos, headers and footers amongst many other customizable options. Reports can be saved in multiple formats, such as PDF, XML, HTML, Excel or Word.
Visualize Coverage and Performance Differences Over Time
WiFi environments are very dynamic and to guarantee the best performance for end-users, it is important to be able to verify changes in coverage and performance in the network. AirMagnet Survey´s Diff View feature allows side-by-side visualization of differences between two separate surveys.
The Diff View feature helps display how a site´s wireless environment has changed over time. This view is a great tool for System Integrators to drive repeat business of validating the coverage and performance of the network on an on-going basis. Likewise, users can use this feature to quickly compare AirMagnet Planner results with actual site survey results. This information can the be used to fine-tune the dl losses for the building and environmental conditions within Planner for more accurate planning.
Integration with WLAN Infrastructure Vendors
AirMagnet Survey allows exporting of real-world survey data to Cisco Prime. This is critical for, not only calibrating Cisco´s built-on planner modeling capabilities but also for specialized applications. For example, location services that mandate a calibration site survey for maximizing location accuracy for WLAN clients, or tags and VoWLAN servics that recommend the use of site surveys to validate real-world data versus the predictive capabilities of the infrastructure.
Take advantage of the planning capabilities built inside AirMagnet Survey PRO by creating and exporting planner projects directly into Cisco Prime. This integration eliminates the need to repeat these tasks within Cisco Prime, saving users time and resources needed, in setting up of maps, access point placement locations and other WLAN deployment modeling activities.

Key Features
All-in-one to address multiple technologies
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert has two sets of native Wi-Fi network interfaces: a 4x4 adapter to scan and test Wi-Fi networks, and a 1x1 adapter for remote control connection and testing. Both interfaces support 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax and can show analysis of utilization and status of Wi-Fi channels, SSIDs, BSSIDs, access points, client devices and interferers. The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert provides visibility of Wi-Fi 6 devices.
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert has two Ethernet ports. The main test RJ-45 port supports Multi-Gig networks from 10/100/1000 Mbps to 2.5/ 5 /10G to verify link speed SNR, and duplex advertised and connected. It can request and verify PoE power under loan from up to 90W PSE´s. Alternatively, it can interface to fiber networks via single/multi SFP+ to test 1/10Gbps fiber based Ethernet. The second RJ-45 management port connects to 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet for remote control, and conducts network scanning and tests where needed. It is also the port for cable testing.
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert has built-in Bluetooth v5/BLE and USB interfaces to discover and configure nearby devices.
Simplifies tasks and empowers technicians to verify commplex networks with next generation AutoTest
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert has out-of-the-box AutoTest profiles with best practice pass/fail thresholds for quick assessment of network configurations and services of Wi-Fi and wired networks.
Ethernet Network: switch port poE characteristics, VLAN Tagged traffic detection, 802.1x authentication, link speed advertised vs negotiated, DHCP/DNS/Gateway availability and accessibility.
Air Quality: assess numer of APs, co-channel and adjacent channel interference, and channel utilization
Wi-Fi Network: supports various authentication and security schemes to connect to SSIDs/BSSIDs for coverage by signal/noise, and DHCP/DNS/Gateway availability and accessibility.
Multiple profiles can be created for complex networks with multiple VLANs supported per switch port, and Wi-Fi networks with multiple SSIDs each with its own set of IP targets. These can then be organized into profile groups that execute each test against each profile in sequence. The result is that multiple VLANs, and SSIDs can be verified and documented in one go. Since the pre-defined profiles can be executed individually, the profiles group serves as a resource for technicians to verify each specific VLAN or SSID during troubleshooting. With profile groups, engineers can transfer their network configuration and test knowledge to technicians, saving training time and effort.
24-Hour Monitoring for Intermittent Issues
Periodic AutoTest: In this mode, AutoTest runs at specified intervals (from 1 minute to 24 hours) and sends the results to Link-Live to view the results over time. This is an effective way to "monitor" aspects of your network for an extended period, or to help diagnose intermittent issues without having to manually execute multiple tests. Results are automatically timestamped and can be prefixed with a user-entered comment for grouping or organization. Test results can be quickly analyzed in Link-Live using the filtering and sorting functions. Email notifications can warn you when errors are found.
A number of additional enhancements in version 1.2 expand the use models for EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert, provide more actionable information, and make the network analysis process even more efficient. See the EtherScope nXG v1.2 release notes for additional information.
Multi-Gig Link Validation
With the expanding deployment of Multi-Gig switching (typically to feed greater bandwith to Wi-Fi 6 access points), users are finding that their cable plant may not support the desired speed. Cable quality, length, installation workmanship, and noise in the environment all can contribute to "downshifting" to lower-than-expected-speeds.
Cabling SNR Measurement
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert can now verify copper media for Multi-Gig capability (1 / 2.5 / 5 / 10G), and provide root cause diagnosis when link speed downshifting occurs.

Wi-Fi AutoTest - Link Validation
The Wi-Fi AutoTest runs a series of tests by connecting to a selected wireless network (associate to an AP), providing a status indication of success, warning or fail. This comprehensive test validates not only the Wi-Fi connection, but also each critical supporting network device. (Note: Wi-Fi AutoTest supports connecting to captive portals where a sign-in is required for access; see user guide for instructions.)
Wi-Fi Link Test - validates the ability to connect to the selected network. Drilling into the link test provides in-depth information about the SSID, signal strength/SNR, channel utilization, retries and PHY rate. Of note, roams indicates the number of times the unit has disconncted from the previous AP and connected to a different AP with a better signal strenght.
The Wi-Fi Link Test graphs save and display data for up to 24 hours in the past, providing a way to "go back in time" to identify specific problem instances.
Channel Test - shows the channel on which the AP is operating and the current 802.11 and non 802.11 utilization in real time and plots the percentage of channel capacity used by devices and non 802.11 interference.
AP Test - shows the AP name and SSID of the network it supports, its IP and MAC addresses, security, channel (if the BSSID is on multiple channels, the bold number indicates the primary), 802.11 types supported, and client associations (number of clients connected to the AP).
DHCP, NS, Gateway results - these validate the availability and performance of critical network services via the Wi-Fi network. Diagnostics on each test provide details on response times and logs for troubleshooting.
Path Analysis - can be run from the above network services tests to identify the connection path to the specified service (or server), this is useful to determine if errors or excessive utilization on the wired network may be affecting the particular service.
Air Quality Test
The Air quality test performs a single scan of the channels in your wireless network to measure channel utilization and interference.
Each table on the air quality results screen shows the top four channels in each band with the highest utilization or co-channel interference, along with the number of APs operating on the channel including adjacent channel interference detection in the 5 GHz band (to detect 40 and MHz-wide overlapping BSSIDs).
Channel utilization and interference
Quickly determine if channels are over utilized with Wi-Fi traffic and/or with non Wi-Fi interference and noise. You can also gain visibility on the level of Wi-Fi traffic and interference over the last 60 seconds on a selected channel, as well as, the access points, clients and interferers using this channel. Drill into details and detect devices that can cause interference, such as, microwave ovens, wireless game controllers, Bluetooth devices, Zigbee devices and wireless video camera.
Automated problem detection
EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert automatically diagnoses various conditions on both wired and wireless networks and identifies specific problems. Tapping the problems card shows all discovered issues, which can be sorted by severity or time detected. Drill in to see a detailed description of the problem and recommended course of action to mitigate.
10G copper/fiber wired and Wi-Fi performance tests for critical links and key devices
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert can stress critical network links, such as switch ports to servers/storage/Wi-Fi access points, uplinks or WAN links, with up to four simultaneous data streams at up to 10G line rate. It verifies the link´s compliance to service level agreements (SLA) based on throughput, packet loss, Qos, delay and jitter against peers such as EtherScope nXG, LinkRunner10G, OptiViewXG, or a windows based software reflector agent.
Settings for data streams and thresholds for VOIP or video service can be stored and recalled where needed, saving configuration time.
Additionally, the EtherScope nXG can use the popular iPerf v3 network test algorithm to test against the NetAlly test accessory. It determines TCP or UDP application throughput through its Wi-Fi or wired interfaces.
For key servers/services in the cloud or internet, engineers can pre-define tests and thresholds to verify their connectivity and performance using ping, TCP connect, HTTP or FTP. Continuous testing with response time measurements is available to verify consistency and identify intermittent issues. These tests can be easily recalled by field technicians to reduce configuration time or mistakes, to get more done faster.
Performance Test relationships - EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert can conduct performance tests through various end points
TCP Connect test - TCP Connect test showing response time over time (up to last 24 hours)
Auditing & documenting network security & health
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert automatically discovers your network through its dual set of Wi-Fi and Ethernet test interfaces immediately upon power up. The discovery provides quick security and health audits of the network devices across multiple VLANs and all Wi-Fi channels.
Devices are classified and correlated to provide complete visibility of their name, network addresses, VLAN, SSID, deice type and where available, traffic statistics. Engineers can name and set authorization status for devices discovered. Discovery results can be directly uploaded to the complimentary Link-Live cloud service for storage, conduct detailed analysis of devices discovered with filter and sort tools, or export to CSV/PDF files as documentation.
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert correlates the discovery result from the wired and Wi-Fi networks and breaks the Layer 2 visibility ceiling. EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert makes it easy to discover the actual identity of a Wi-Fi device by showing its name and IP address while most other Wi-Fi tools only show the MAC address.
EtherScope nXG´s discovery can be enriched by accessing SNMP MIBs of infrastructure devices. It shows detail such as device configuration summary, interface configuration and traffic detail, SSIDs supported by WLAN controllers and devices directly connected to switches. Community strings entered are concealed from view.
Discover possible security risks caused by users and others: 2nd DHCP offers indicating possible rogue servers, APs with different security schemes, unknown or unauthorized devices, unknown switches granting access to multiple devices and hidden SSIDs.
EtherScope nXG´s "Batch Authorization" workflow allows the user to filter discovery data to be a subset of easily identifiable devices, then apply a "label" to the grouping (such as "Authorized" or "Neighbor") to the list of devices. Labeling known/acceptable devices makes it easy to sort/filter and identify unauthorized hosts in subsequent audits - so you have clear knowledge of who and what is on your network and whether they should be there or not.
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert discovery automatically detects problems. It shows possible cause(s) for each problem detected, and it has integrated troubleshooting tools to investigate further to get to root cause.
Network topology mapping - integrated wired and Wi-Fi network diagrams
No more struggling to keep manually drawn maps up to date! EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert automatically discovers both your wired and Wi-Fi networks for instant mapping in NetAlly´s Link-Live cloud service. These comprehensive, up-to-the-minute-accurate network diagrams show your network as it is NOW, integrating Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology informatio, including these connections: switch to host, switch to access point, access point to Wi-Fi client, switch to switch, switch to router and router to router hops.
Now, users can now interact with the network in a flexible map based user interface to quickly visually identify configuration and topology issues, speeding troubleshooting and automatically create network documentation.
EtherScope nXG´s patented discovery engine gathers data from its wired connection (via SNMP and other methods) and from the air (observing Wi-Fi traffic) to generate comprehensive network connectivity maps.
Easy to use filters and map controls allow you to see exactly what you want and how you want it displayed. Quickly identify network and device configuration errors, and see "unknown" switches and rogue devices. Element icons are color-coded to identify errors or warnings; double-clicking on any map element brings up its detailed discovery information, including status, problems, interface information and more.
NOTE: customers with AllyCare get access to in-depth map configuration, controls and export to Visio. For information about AllyCare, go to support.netally.com/allycare/
The importance of visualizing your network
The faster engineers can "see" what is going on in their network, to know who is on the network and where they are connected and what the path is from "here to here", the faster they can get to root cause when troubleshooting performance issues. This is especially true for maintenance organizations or system integrators who often troubleshoot an "unknown" network. The problem is that traditional methods (CLI or element managers) take too long and present complex data that´s often hard to interpret and difficult to correlate.
Documentation is an essential step for any project, such as pre-deployment network assessments and new technology rollouts, but it can take too much time to complete. From the graphical map based user interface, one click sends the map data through a Visio file generator, pre populating the diagram with all discovered devices, links, and corresponding configuration information, saving hours of manual effort, allowing further customization.
Ideal for enterprises or service organizations, EtherScope nXG´s mapping function saves hours of manual labor, allowing documentation to keep up as the network changes, or provide instant maps for client projects.
Simple "access-anywhere" remote control enables collaboration
The EtherScope nXG Portable Network Expert has dedicated Wi-Fi and Ethernet management ports that enable a more experienced/knowledgeable remote engineer to control the EtherScope nXG "out of badn" (using VNC) to collaborate with technicians on-site, or to troubleshoot remotely where there is no local staff.
But connecting to distant sites via VNC on different networks is difficult or impossible, particularly behind NAT firewalls. With AllyCare-enabled web remote control feature, users can instantly connect to remote units through the Link-Live cloud service - anywhere in the world - for collaborative and remote troubleshooting.
At locations with no internet service, the Wi-Fi management port can connect to a personal Wi-Fi hotspot for remote control and upload results to the Link-Live cloud service.
Automated test results management
Serving as a centralized test result and instrument management system, the complimentary Link-Live cloud service transforms team workflows with the ability to quickly and easily log, document and report test activity from any NetAlly LinkSprinter, LinkRunnerAT, LinkRunner G2, AirCheck G2, OneTouchAT and EtherScope nXG Portable Network testers. Once the tester is connected to the Link-Live cloud service, your test results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management and reporting. You have the option of uploading additional files, screenshots, images, profiles, packet captures, location information and comments anytime. Also, certain NetAlly testers with AllyCare support can receive firmware updates "over the network" from Link-Live as they become available.
An API is available to retrieve and integrate data from Link-Live into other management platforms, such as your trouble-ticket application or network management system. It gives you the ability provide proof-of-performance and better manage jobs and staff efficiency.
This unified dashboard of both wired and Wi-Fi network connectivity results enables you to:
Reduce results managemnt overhead for multiple testers and users
Enables seamless collaboration between site personnel and remote experts
Simplify report generation across media types for network deployment documentation
Attach photos, user comments to each result, adding context for future changes and troubleshooting
For asset management, ability to associate serial numbers of installed devices, and/or cable/walljack label to specific test results

Key Features
Flexible Platform for a variety of testing needs
The LinkRunner 10G has two Ethernet ports. The main test RJ-45 port supports Multi-Gig networks from 10/100/1000 Mbps to 2.5/5/10G to verify link speed, SNR and duplex advertised and connected. It can request and verify PoE power under load from uip to 90W PSE´s. Alternatively, it can interface to fiber networks via single/multi mode SFP+ to test 1/10Gbps fiber based Ethernet. The second RJ-45 management port connects to 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet for remote control, and conducts network scanning and tests where needed. It is also the port for cable testing.
In addition to fiber optic transceivers (SX, LX, SR, LR, ZX, singlemode, multimode, etc.) the SFP+ slot can be utilized with a variety of standards-based interfaces, such as TwinAx or other Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, and vendor specific transceivers.
As an Android based device, LinkRunner 10G can use a variety of apps from the Live-Live app store for a variety of uses. The USB-A port provides connectivity for added USB adapters and third party accessories such as printers, barcode scanners, fiber optic inspection cameras and more. The use of a USB based WiFi adapter (such as the Edimax AC1200 for 802.11ac/b/g/n) provides for connectivity and wireless testing using a third party app.
The USB-C port is compatible with higher power USB-C chargers, as well as external power packs for all day portable use.
Simplifies tasks and empowers technicians to verify complex networks with the next generation AutoTest
The LinkRunner 10G has out-of-the-box AutoTest profiles with best practice pass/fail thresholds for quick assessment of network configurations and services.
AutoTest Element Configurations include:
Switch port PoE validation up to 90W from PSE and TruePower load testing
802.1x autthentication
Link speed/duplex advertised vs. actual, Multi-Gig link SNR measurement
VLAN tagged traffic detection & monitoring
Witch port identification with interface stats, connected devices and drill-down
DHCP availability, response time, automatic detection fo 2nd DHCP offer and connect log
DNS lookup (forward/reverse) availability and response time
Gateway availability and response time
Active connection test targets (Ping or TCP Connect)
End-user response time measurement via HTTP
Multiple profiles can be created for complex networks with multiple VLANs supported per switch port, each with its own set of IP targets. These can then be organized into profile groups that execute each test against each profile in sequence. The result is that multiple VLANs can be verified and documented in one go. Since the pre-defined profiles can be executed individually, the profiles group serves as a resource for technicians to verify each specific VLAN during troubleshooting. With profile groups, engineers can transfer their network configuration and test knowledge to technicians, saving training time and effort.
Multi-Gig Link Validation
With the expanding deplayment of Multi-Gig switching (typically to feed greater bandwith to WiFi 6 access points), users are finding that their cable plant may not support the desired speed. Cable quality, length, installation workmanship, and noise in the environment all can contribute to "downshifting" to lower-than-expected-speeds.
Cabling SNR Measurement - LinkRunner 10G can now verify copper media for Multi-Gig capability (1 / 2.5 / 5 / 10G), and provide root cause diagnosis when link speed downshifting occurs.
24 hour monitoring for intermittent issues
Periodic AutoTest: In this mode, AutoTest runs at specified intervals (from 1 minute to 24 hours) and sends the results to Link-Live to view the results over time. This is an effective way to "monitor" aspects of your network for an extended period, or to help diagnose intermittent issues without having to manually execute multiple tests. Results are automatically timestamped and can be prefixed with a user-entered comment for grouping or organization. Test results can be quickly analyzed in Link-Live using the filtering and sorting functions. Email notifications can warn you when errors are found.
10G copper/fiber wired performance tests for critical links and key devices
The LinkRunner 10G works as a test peer with the EtherScope nXG Network Performance Test (NPT) to stress critical network links, such as switch ports to servers/storag/WiFi access points, uplinks or WAN links, with up to four simultaneous data streams at up to 10G line rate. It verifies the link´s compliance to service level agreements (SLA) based on throughput, packet loss, QoS, delay and jitter.
This performance test can be run at up to full line rate in order to measure the top end bandwith and quality of your network from end-to-end, or for particular network segments. It can also be utilized to bench test switches for optimal configuration prior to rollout into production. For troubleshooting on a production network (where excessive test traffic could be detrimental), many users will configure the NPT feature with a low stream of traffic (even just 128 Kbps) in order to characterize network quality, identify possible packet loss, delay and jitter and validate Qos.
Settings for data streams and thresholds for VoIP or video service can be stored and recalled where needed, saving configuration time.
For key servers/services in the cloud or internet, engineers can pre-define tests and thresholds to verify their connectivity and performance using ping, TCP connect, HTTP or FTP. Continuous testing with response time measurements is available to verify consistency and identify intermittent issues. These tests can be easily recalled by field technicians to reduce configuration time or mistakes, to get more done faster.

Cable test: determine length, shorts, and split pairs and locate opens on UTP cable. Verify the wiremap of UTP and ScTP cable with a WireView adapter. It can generate either analog tone or the unique digital tone for the Fluke Networks IntelliTone Probe for quick cable tracing.
Android Apps: users can download apps from the Link-Live app store to accomplish many tasks in addition to testing.
Automated test results management
Serving as a centralized test result and device management system, the free Link-Live cloud service transforms team workflows with the ability to quickly and easily log, document and report test activity from all LinkSprinter, LinkRunner AT, LinkRunner G2, LinkRunner 10G, AirCheck G2 handheld network testers.
Once the instrument is connected to the Link-Live cloud service, your test results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management and reporting. You have the option of uploading additional files, screenshots, images, profiles, packet captures, location information and comments anytime. Also, certain NetAlly instruments with AllyCare support can receive firmware updates "over the network" from Link-Live as they become available.
An API is available to retrieve and integrate data from Link-Live into other management platforms, such as your trouble ticket application or network management system. This gives you the ability to easily provide proof-of-performance and better manage jobs and staff efficiency.
This unified dashboard of both wired and WiFi network connectivity results enables you to:
reduce results management overhead for multiple testers and users
enables seamless collaboration between site personnel and remote experts
Attach photos, user comments to each result, adding context for future changes and troubleshooting
for asset management, ability to associate serial numbers of installed devices, and/or cable/walljack label to specific test results
WiFi network visibility
With the use of a USB-A based WiFi adapter (such as Edimax AC1200 for 802.11ac/b/g/n) provides for connectivity and wireless testing using a third party apps, available for download from the Link-Live app store. While not nearly as powerful as the tools available in EtherScope nXG or AirCheck G2, this capability provides an essential level of visibility where needed. Note, other than the upload/attachment of screen captures, there is no integration from third party apps with Link-Live. Information collected from these apps can not be saved to Link-Live (another reason to utilize EtherScope nXG or AirCheck G2 for WiFi troubleshooting.)
AllyCare - Enabled features deliver advanced troubleshooting capabilities(The following features below are only available to customers with AllyCare support on their LinkRunner 10G. Visit support.netally.com/allycare
Discovery - Know who and what is on your network
The LinkRunner 10G discovery app automatically discovers your network immediatley upon power-up. The discovery provides quick security and health audits of the network devices across multiple VLANs and subnets.
Devices are classified and correlated to provide complete visibility of thier name, network addresses, VLAN, SSID, device type, and where available, traffic statistics. Engineers can name and set authorization status for devices discovered. Discovery results can be directly uploaded to the complimentary Link-Live cloud service for storage, conduct detailed analysis of devices discovered with filter and sort tools, or export to CSV/PDF files as documentation.
LinkRunner´s discovery can be enriched by accessing SNMP MIBs of infrastructure devices. It shows details such as device configuration summary, interface configuration and traffic detail, SSIDs supported by WiFi controllers, and devices directly connected to switches. Community strings entered are concealed from view.
Discover possible security risks caused by users and others: 2nd DHCP offers indicating possible rogue servers, unknown switches granting access to multiple devices.
The LinkRunner 10G´s discovery automatically detects problems. It shows possible cause(s) for each problem detected, and it has integrated troubleshooting tools to investigate further to get to root cause.
Switch Management
Drill into switch interfaces via SNMP for additional diagnostics, including trend graphs on utilization, errors, discards, half-duplex (HDX), RSTP and recent reboots.
Path Analysis
Shows the switch/router path connecting the LinkRunner 10G to an IP device on across wired and WiFi networks and even beyond the local network, e.g., from the LinkRunner 10G´s test port to a server in the cloud or data center. The LinkRunner 10G offers built-in tools to conduct further analysis of the devices along the path: view configuration, interface traffic statistics, launch Telnet of browser, conduct port scan, ping and more.
Simple "Access-Anywhere" Remote Control
LinkRunner 10G permits a remote engineer to control the EtherScope nXG "out of band" (using VNC) to collaborate with technicians on-site, or to troubleshoot remotely where there is no local staff.
But connecting to distant sites via VNC on different networks is difficult or impossible, particularly behind NAT firewalls. With the AllyCare-enabled web remote control, users can instantly connect to remote units through the Link-Live cloud service - anywhere in the world - for collaborative and remote troubleshooting.
Network Topology Mapping - Integrated Wired and WiFi Network Diagrams
No more struggling to keep manually drwan maps up to date! LinkRunner 10G (with AllyCare support) automatically discovers both your wired and WiFi networks for instant mapping in NetAlly´s Link-Live cloud service. These comprehensive, up-to-the-minute-accurate network diagrams show your network as it is NOW, integrating Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology information, including these connections: switch to host, switch to Access Point, Access Point to WiFi client, switch to switch, switch to router and router to router hops.
Now, users can now interact with the network in a flexible map-based user interface to quickly visually identify configuration and topology issues, speeding troubleshooting and automatically create network documentation.
The LinkRunner 10G´s patented discovery engine gathers data from its wired connection (via SNMP and other methods) and from the air (observing WiFi traffic) to generate comprehensive network connectivity maps.
Easy to use filters and map controls allow you to see exactly what you want and how you want it displayed. Quickly identify network and device configuration errors and see "unknown" switches and rogue devices. Element icons are color-coded to identify errors or warnings; double-clicking on any map element brings up its detailed discovery information, including status, problems, interface information and more.
The importance of visualizing your network
The faster engineers can "see" what is going on in their network, to know who is on the network and where they are connected, and what the path is from "here to there", the faster they can get to root cause when troubleshooting performance issues. This is especially true for maintenance organizations or system integrators who often troubleshoot an "unknown" network. The problem is that traditional methods (CLI or element managers) take too long and present complex data that´s often hard to interpret and difficult to correlate.
Documentation is an essential step for any project, such as pre-deployment network assessments and new technology rollouts, but it can take too much time to complete. From the graphical map based user interface, one click sends the map data through a Visio file generator, pre-populating the diagram with all discovered devices, links, and corresponding configuration information, saving hours of manual effort, allowing further customization.
Ideal for enterprises or service organizations, LinkRunner 10G´s mapping function saves hours of manual labor, allowing documentation to keep up as the network changes, or provide instant maps for client projects.

Verify complex network readiness for WiFi access point and VoIP phone deployment: automatic VLAN visibility in AutoTest and support for DHCP options 43, 60 and 150
AutoTest for testing the network at different sizes or stages of completion: versatile "Stop After" setting, unlimited number IP Targets of connectivity test, "Continuous" testing function to verify connectivity consistency to IP Target and large internal and external storage for test results and site data
Do more while connected to the switch to reduce trips back and forth to MDF/IDF: detects link speed issues due to cable faults, utilize 90W PoE power, and add pictures or comments to test results directly from LinkRunner G2
Run Android apps to consolidate workflows: configure devices, interact with corporate systems or the internet with a web browser and run a functional test
Advanced troubleshooting functions: Protocol capture and VLAN monitor
Smart Tester that runs Android Apps
The LinkRunner G2 is the first network tester that features smartphone like qualities, such as a 5" touch screen with built-in camera, flashlight, and running the Android OS. Many job-related Android apps can be downloaded to the unit, eliminating the need to use a separate personal tablet or smartphone for the task. With the optional WiFi and Bluetooth function, and dedicated copper and fiber Ethernet interfaces, LinkRunner G2 can communicate directly with many end-devices for configuration. Because the apps that can be pre-loaded onto the LinkRunner G2 can be controlled, it poses less of a security risk than a personal smart phone.
Example of a typical workflow with LinkRunner G2:
Receive a trouble ticket
View PDFs or other documents that are needed for the job
Verify PoE and network connectivity via AutoTest
Automatically document test results on unit or to the Link-Live cloud service
On-board camera to document installed devices, scan QR/barcodes, etc.
Configure any device that supports an Android app or the Chrome browserA) Configure an IoT device (security camera, access point, digital lighting controller, HVAC)B) Telnet into a switchC) Run a speed test to the internet

Programmable AutoTest Profile for IoT Projects
Some IoT systems installations require conducting network services tests at various stages of deployment. The necessary AutoTest Profiles can be created, such that the LinkRunner G2´s will test for the specific configuration needed at each installation stage, providng clear Pass/Fail documentation of the deployment.
Additional information can be appended to the test results, such as images of the location where the device is deployed (using LinkRunner G2´s onboard camera), the serial number of the IoT devices as scanned by a barcode app and technician comments.
Key Service and Device Connectivity
LinkRunner G2 can run ping, TCP port open, or HTTP connection tests. The test conducted will reveal connection and response time to the default Gateway, preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server. The LinkRunner G2 connection test supports unlimited user-defined target devices, servers or services, based on IP address or URL. Continuous testing can be executed on a specific target to verify intermittent behavior, based on response time.
Cable Length, Wiremap and Location
Easily find opens, shorts, miswires and split pairs three different ways:
On non-terminated cable
With a WireView Cable Identifier
With the built-in wiremap port on the side of the LinkRunner AT
LinkRunner G2 has the unique capability to detect and test distance to open even when the cable is connected to a switch
Cable location
Locate cable runs with toning, switch port advertisement, switch port link light blinking and remote cable identifiers. Toning supports both analog and digital IntelliTone modes.
802.1x Authentication
Verify access to secure networks using 802.1x and MAC Access Control Lists (ACL). Users can also configure 802.1x EAP type and enter passwords.
Automated Test Result Management
Serving as a centralized test result and device management system, the free Link-Live cloud service transforms worksflows with the ability to quickly and easily log, document and resport test activity from all LinkSprinter, LinkRunner AT, LinkRunner G2, AirCheck G2 and OneTouch AT hand-held network testers. Once the instrument is connected to the Link-Live cloud service, your test results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management and reporting. You have the option of uploading additional files, screenshots, images, profiles, packet captures, location information and comments anytime. Also, certain NetAlly instruments with AllyCare Support can receive firmware updates "over the network" from Link-Live as they become available.
An API is available to retrieve and integrate data from Link-Live into other management platforms, such as your trouble ticket application or network management system. This gives you the ability to easily provide proof-of-performance and better manage jobs and staff efficiency.
This unified dashboard of both wired and WiFi network connectivity results enables you to:
Reduce results management overhead for multiple testers and users
Enables seamless collaboration between site personnel and remote experts
Simplify report generation across media types for network deployment documentation
Attach photos, user comments to each result, adding context for future changes and troubleshooting

WifiPROBE feature - Analyze the throughput performance of each channel
Determine the best channel for your Wifi Network
The WifiPROBE feature provides unprecedented visibility into the performance of a wireless network. The information collected and displayed helps to simplify troubleshooting of interference related problems and predicts the throughput performance of each 802.11 channel. WifiPROBE employs IMMI technology with 802.11 hardware to perform data acquisition - hence, the resultstruly reflect how packet congestion and RF interference ine the local environment affects your Wifi network. This is a possible using an RF spectrum analyzer or other tools currently in the market.
In a wireless network there is, at any moment, a single transmitter and one or more receivers. Furthermore, devices participating in the network take turns being a transmitter or receiver. When considering network performance, it is the transmitter who holds the key. Before transmitting data, the transmitter "senses" the RF enviroment to check if the channel is clear. If so, then transmissions proceeds. But if not, then the transmitter delays a random period of time before making its next attempt to transmit. Hence, "Available transmit time" becomes the metric by which we can measure channel performance - that is, the more time available for transmission then the better will be that channel´s performance and data throughput.
Applications for the WifiPROBE feature include:
Detect presence of RF interference that could affect network performance
Determine whether performance can be improved by using a different channel
Quantify expected change in performance that would result from using a different channel
Optimally configure WiFi network with the goal of improving throughput performance
As an aid in properly locating WiFi devices so as to maximize range and throughput and minimize interference from competing wireless devices
AirHORN feature - Simulate Co-Channel congestion and adjacent channel interference using packet injection
Stress test WiFi networks, compare antenna performance, detect "dead spots", and more...
The AirHORN feature aids in testing WiFi antennas, RF shields and wireless networks. It is an RF channel / signal generator that covers both the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands and was designed for microwave and RF applications. Using 802.11 packet injection, AirHORN transmits stable and accurate RF signals for each of the 802.11 (WiFi) channels and is ideal for stress testing existing wireless networks and for use in research and development of antenna design. A signal generation system is key to any test system - as such, AirHORN can also be used for rapid evaluation of receiver performance and detecting "dead spots".
The AirHORN feature can be used for:
Real world testing of WiFi antennas and amplifiers
Testing the effectiveness of RF shield designs
Stress testing 802.11 (WiFi) wireless networks
Aligning directional WiFi antennas
Rapid evaluation of receiver performance
Locating WiFi "dead spots"
