Where to start? NetTool Series II
redefines how to track down and isolate
the source of connectivity problems
while providing the vision you need to
troubleshoot network devices.
The new Series II NetTool features
NetProve™ diagnostics – this easy,
one-button test proves if the network is
to blame for a connectivity problem. In
seconds, you can test connectivity to key
devices and service ports enterprise-wide.
NetTool’s inline vision provides a unique
view into 10, 100 and Gigabit links
to troubleshoot device problems fast.
Verify compatible configurations of
switches and PCs. Monitor the conversa-
tions between VoIP phones and the
network. Monitor ports for suspicious
traffic from spyware, malware, and
viruses. Discover key devices, problems,
VLANs and switch ports. Measure PoE
line voltage and current and verify
PoE pairs.
And if the problem is cable related,
NetTool verifies wiremap, displays
the distance to cabling faults,
and locates cables others can’t with
IntelliTone Digital Toning.
All this in a handheld, portable tool
built to take what you can dish out.
