networks using Link Live Cloud Service; speeds troubleshooting and keeps
network documentation up-to-date. Exports to Visio.Key FeaturesAll-in-one to address multiple technologiesThe EtherScope nXG has two sets of native WiFi network interfaces: a 2x2 adapter to scan and test WiFi networks and a 1x1 adapter for remote control connection and testing. The test interface supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax and can show analysis of utilization and status of WiFi channels, SSIDs, BSSIDs, access points and client devices. The EtherScope nXG provides full 6 GHz support.*The EtherScope nXG has two Ethernet ports. The main test RJ45 port supports Multi-Gig networks from 10/100Mbps to 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps 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-mode SFP+ to test 1/10 Gbps fiber based Ethernet. The second RJ45 management port connects to 10/100Mbps or 1Gbps Ethernet for remote control and conducts network discovery and tests where needed. It is also the port for cable testing. The EtherScope nXG has built-in Bluetooth v5/BLE radio for connectivity and conducting BT/BLE site surveys; USB interfaces provide connectivity for accessories and other devices. * Implementation of 6 GHz spectrum varies by country. See ordering information for details. Spectrum analysis requires the optional NXT-1000 Portable Spectrum Analyzer for 2.4 / 5 GHz.Simplifies tasks and empowers technicians to verify complex networks with next generation AutoTestThe EtherScope nXG has out-of-the-box AutoTest profiles with best practice pass/fail thresfolds for quick assessment of network configurations and services of WiFi 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 number of APs, co-channel and adjacent channel interference and channel utilization WiFi Network: supports various authentication and security schems (including WPA3) 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 WiFi 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 IssuesPeriodic AutoTest - In this mode, AutoTest runs at specified intervals (from 1 to 60 minutes, for durations from 10 minutes 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 filter and sorting functions. Email notifications can warn you when errors are found.Multi-Gig Link ValidationWith the expanding deployment of Multi-Gig switching (typically to feed greater bandwidth to WiFi 6/6E 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 - NetAlly EtherScope nXG can now verify copper media for Multi-Gig capability (2.5 / 5 / 10Gbps) and provide root cause diagnosis when link speed downshifting occurs.AirMapper Site Survey - Now for WiFi 6/6EWith the AirMapper app, EtherScope nXG users can quickly and easily gather location based WiFi and Bluetooth/BLE measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in the Link Live Cloud Service. Simple to use, the AirMapper app is ideal for quick site surveys of new deployments, change validation and performance verification.Survey project management capabilities in Link Live provide a major boost in productivity and collaboration for distributed teams conducting surveys at remote sites. A team lead can create a project in Link Live, upload and calibrate the floor plan, then automatically push the configured project out to the desired handheld instruments.Complete faster and easier WiFi and Bluetooth / BLE site surveys with an entirely mobile platformPerform enterprise-grade surveys without the need of a dongle or tethered device with a hardware based platform for accurate and comlete data collectionAutomatically identify common WiFi network problems using InSites intelligence in Link Live Cloud ServiceCollborate - easily visualize and share survey data through Link Live Cloud ServiceSimultaneous passive and active WiFi surveys to gather critical site metrics and validate client experience and roaming with one surveyPass WiFi survey data to AirMagnet Survey Pro for more advanced analysis, planning and reportingNote: Enhanced site survey visualizations and filtering are available to customers with AllyCare support on their EtherScope nXG.

Native WiFi 6 and 6 GHz SupportWith the introduction of WiFi 6/6E the way WiFi validation and troubleshooting is done changed. New technologies designed to improve traffic management efficiency and support for the 6 GHz band were introduced, allowing for higher throughput and better performance in environments where a high user capacity is required.Introducing the EXG-300, an improved version of the NetAlly EtherScope nXG with a native WiFi 6/6E radio. This new version of the NetAlly EtherScope nXG includes native support for new technologies like OFDMA, OBSS, 1024-QAM and the 6 GHz band.1) Validate actual WiFi 6/6E network performance by using a native 802.11ax radio.2) Gain visibility into all WiFi devices working on the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands.3) Provides accurate 802.11 utilization and enables packet captures of WiFi 6 control, management and data frames.4) Faster WiFi device discovery through the use Reduced Neighbor Reports, Preferred Scanning Channels and the ability of getting information for multiple SSID´s from a single beacon frame.5) Enhanced security validation by allowing for the use of WPA3 and Enhanced Open.WiFi AutoTest - Link ValidationThe WiFi 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 WiFi connection, but also each critical supporting network service. (Note: WiFi AutoTest supports connecting to Captive Portals where a sign-in is required for access; see User Guide for instructions.)WiFi 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 disconnected from the previous AP and connected to a different AP with a better signal strength.The WiFi 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 problems 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, DNS, Gateway Results - these validate the availability and performance of critical network services via the WiFi network. Diagnostics on each test provide details on response times and log 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 TestThe 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 and 6 GHz bands (to detect 40, 80 and 160 MHz wide overlapping BSSIDs).Channel UtilizationQuickly determine if channels are over utilized with WiFi traffic and/or with non-WiFi interference and noise. You can also gain visibility on the level of WiFi traffic and interference over the last 60 seconds on a selected channel, as well as, the access points and clients using this channel.Spectrum Analysis and InterferenceTrying to pinpoint the source of WiFi interference on a wireless network is hit or miss with the wrong tools. Through the use of the optional NXT-1000 Mobile Spectrum Analyzer, EtherScope nXG offers a view of RF interferences in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and its impact on the wireless network´s overall performance. Key graphs and charts include:Real-Time Spectrum - Provides a real time view into the RF environment.Frequency Spectrum - Displays a real time analysis on signals that common during the current capture session.Spectrogram - Shows intermittent spikes of RF energy that over time may be causing wireless network problems.Roaming AnalysisIn the WiFi link test graphs (SNR, Utilization, Retries, PHY Tx Rate) as well as in active test graphs (PING), anytime the EtherScope roams and connects to a new Access Point, a red vertical line will be shown in the graph.Seeing the correlation between various factors and the roam can help diagnose roaming successes as well as failures. Paired with the Connect Log, engineers can determine the exact step in the process that may be causing the failure.10G copper/fiber wired and WiFi performance tests for critical links and key devicesThe NetAlly EtherScope nXG can stress critical network links, such as switch ports to servers/storage/WiFi access points, uplinks or WAN links, with up to eight 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, LinkRunner 10G or a Windows based software reflector agent.Settings for data streams and threshold for VoIP or video service can be stored and recalled where needed, saving configuration time. Additionally, the NetAlly 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 WiFi 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.LANBERT Media Qualification AppYour copper and fiber cable plant serves as the foundation of your network. But do you know whether it is of sufficient quality to provide the bandwidth required ? With the insatiable growth in bandwidth, increasing speeds of WiFi APs (with Multi-Gig 2.5 / 5Gbps backhauls), 1Gbps to 10Gbps upgrades and deploying new fiber links, network professionals must have confidence that their network will transport that data error free at the maximum speed possible. Downtime or intermittent loss and errors is simply not an option.The quality of components and workmanship of installation is critical, but typical cable certification testers can be very expensive, single purpose tools - making them cost-prohibitive for many installers and end users. The new LAMBERT media qualificiation app for NetAlly´s multi function professional instruments provides a simple and fast method of assessing the quality of transmission and available bandwidth.LANBERT genereates and measures the transmission of line rate Ethernet frames over your network cabling infrastructure, qualifying its ability to support 1G/10G on fiber and 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G on copper links.Key features- Maximize utilization of your existing cable plant- Qualify copper cable bandwidth for 2.5 / 5 / 10G- Validate 1G / 10G fiber optic cabling and components- Identify maximum error free throughputRunning LANBERT test using the NetAlly EtherScope nXG and/or the NetAlly LinkRunner 10G as endpoints over a long duration (up to 24 hours) serves as a "soak test" to identify the presence of intermittent issues and noise events that can corrupt network traffic. With easy-to-read trend graphs and the ability to drill down to 1-second granularity, LANBERT helps you identify exactly when errors occur.Poor quality components and/or installation workmanship can result in links that are susceptible to noise, whether induced from within cable bundles or from outside events such as electrostatic discharges (ESD), crosstalk, or electromagnetic (EMF) pulses caused by motors or other machinery. This can cause not only bit errors and frame loss but may prevent certain technologies (Multi-Gig) from linking at the designated speed causing a downshift to the next lower rate.But beware of other testers offering similar capabilities! Standard Layer 2 only Ethernet access link testing will not validate layer 3 enterprise switches and routers. Because it does not test the IP (internet protocol) layer, this methodology cannot pass through Layer 3 devices. Thankfully, NetAlly´s multifunction tools also feature the Layer 3 line rate network performance test app, that can transmit and test across your entire network infrastructure end-to-end - not just one access link and switch. It also includes up to 8 streams with individual L2 and L3 QoS and VLAN controls, essential capabilities for truly understanding the capacity and quality of packet transmission.The LANBERT app generates a stream of Ethernet frames onto a copper or fiber link which are redirected back to the EtherScope using one of three methods:1) Single tester with physical loopback (for fiber, using a jumper between Tx and Rx; for twisted-pair cabling using an RJ45 loopback connector - limited to 100 Mbps)2) Single tester with active remote loopback (switch port configured in loopback mode or reflector test instrument (such as LinkRunner G2, for up to 1G)3) Dual tester, one in Generator mode, the other in Loopback mode, using two NetAlly EtherScope nXG units, two LinkRunner 10 units, or one of each (up to 10G copper or fiber testing).Auditing & documenting network security and healthThe NetAlly EtherScope nXG automatically discovers your network through its dual set of WiFi 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 WiFi channels.Devices are classified and correlated to provide complete visibility of their 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.The NetAlly EtherScope nXG correlates the discovery result from the wired and WiFi networks and breaks the layer 2 visibility ceiling. The NetAlly EtherScope nxG makes it easy to discover the actual identity of a WiFi device by showing its name and IP address while most other WiFi tools only show the MAC address.EtherScope nXG´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 offer 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 discovey data to a subset of easily identifiable devices, then apply a "label" to gthe grouping (such as "Authorized" or "Nieghbor") 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 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.Discovery Difference Analysis in Link LiveKeeping track of network changes while at the same time detecting unauthorized devices connected to your network is essential for speeding troubleshooting and securing your infrastructure, but it is very hard to do on a regular basis.NetAlly Link Live Cloud Service makes it fast and easy. The Discovery Difference analysis simplifies the process of documenting network changes or identifying unauthorized devices by comparing two network discovery snapshots and automatically highlighting new or missing devices on your network. This analysis can be viewed as a network topology diagram or data table.The first discovery test will provide a baseline of the original state of your network and the second discovery test will provide a snapshot of the current state of your network. Link Live will compare the two snapshots and then highlight what has changed over time. That includes new devices that were not originally part of your network and devices that were removed.Network Topology Mapping - Integrated Wired and WiFi Network DiagramsNo more strugglink to keep manually drawn maps up to date ! The NetAlly EtherScope nXG 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.EtherScope nXG´s patended 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 colour coded to identifiy 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/allycareThe importance of visualizing your networkThe 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 organisations, EtherScope nXG´s mapping function saves hours of manual labor, allowing documentation documentation to keep up as the network changes, or provide instant maps for client projects.Automated Test Results ManagementServing 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 G3 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 usersEnables seamless collaboration between site personnel and remote expertsAttach photos, user comments to each result, adding context for future changes and troubleshootingFor asses management, ability to associate serial numbers of installed devices and/or cable/walljack label to specific test resultsSimple "access-anywhere" remote control enables collaborationThe NetAlly EtherScope nXG has dedicated WiFi and Ethernet management ports that enable a more experienced/knowledgeable 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 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 serivce, the WiFi management port can connect to a personal WiFi hotspot for remote control and upload results to the Link Live Cloud Service.Multiple advanced troubleshooting tools in onePath Analysis: shows the switch/router path connecting the EtherScope nXG to an IP device on across wired and WiFi networks and even beyond the local network, e.g., from the NetAlly EtherScope nXG´s WiFi port to a server in the cloud or data center on the internet. The NetAlly EtherScope nXG offers built-in tools to conduct further analysis of the devices along the path: view configuration, inteface traffic statistics, launch Telnet or browser, conduct port scan, ping and more.Packet Capture: from both the WiFi and Ethernet test interfaces. You can capture up to 10G line rate or capture WiFi 6/6E traffic on the 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz bands to create a PCAP file of up to 1GB. Packet slicing and filtering are supported and PCAP files can be uploaded to the Link Live Cloud Service for easy sharing.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.Apps: Users can download apps from the Live Live app store to accomplish many tasks in addition to testing.Optical Power MeterWhen connected with fiber, the AutoTest Link card has been augmented with the ability to set a reference and display the current power reading relative to that reference. This is useful for saving the power level at the source as a reference, then measuring the fiber power loss at the far end.Important Notes:WiFi 6 / 6E Regulatory Compliance Implementation of the 6 GHz spectrum varies by country. EtherScope nXG 300 models are available in three versions: Full Tri-Band (capability across the entire 6 GHz band), Partial Tri-Band (capability for only certain channles in the 6 GHz band as determined by 802.11d regulatory domain information), and Dual Band Only (for countries where operation in the 6 GHz band is not allowed.)

Serves as a peer to the EtherScope nXG for line-rate performance testing to verify network capacity, performance and QoS, as well as service provider SLAs between sites
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.

Additional troubleshooting tools
Packet capture: You can capture up to 10G line rate to create a PCAP file of up to 1 GB. Packet slicing and filtering are supported and PCAp files can be uploaded to the Link-Live cloud service for easy sharing.
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.
