Safety Information When using NaviTEK NT, always take basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons. These include the following: • When connecting to the port, special care must be taken as high voltages may be present and there may be a danger of electrocution. • Avoid using the tester during an electrical storm - there is a remote risk of electric shock by lightning. • Use only the mains electricity adaptor supplied with your NaviTEK NT.
Power Saving Power saving preferences are selected from SETUP / SYSTEM / PREF. Auto Off can be Disabled (unit remains ON indefinitely), or set to switch the unit OFF after three, 10 or 30 minutes of inactivity. The backlight can be set to Always On, or to dim to 50% brightness after three minutes of inactivity. Note that when mains power is connected the display is always on full brightness and the unit remains ON indefinitely.

HOME Screen • • • • The HOME screen is displayed following start-up. To refresh the HOME screen and update the display of the current connection status, press Autotest. To display more information about an item on the HOME screen, use the Cursor buttons to move the orange highlight to the required item on the screen, then press ENTER. To return to the HOME screen from any other screen, press Escape repeatedly until the HOME screen appears.
HOME Screen (with network cable connected) When the tester is connected to an un-terminated cable greater than ~3m (10ft) long, Autotest displays a graphical illustration of the cable, using the colour scheme set in SETUP/TESTS/WIREMAP, showing the cable length and any faults by pair.
HOME Screen (with network cable connected to Active Remote) When the tester is connected to a cable that is terminated with an Active Remote, Autotest runs an advanced Wiremap test that can detect split pairs and faults by pin. The HOME screen displays a bar indicating the progress of the test. Select this bar and press ENTER to display the Wiremap result screen. When the test is complete the result is saved (depending on the Auto Save setting).
HOME Screen (with live copper network connected) When the tester is connected to a live copper-based network, Autotest detects the partner Ethernet device at the far end of the cable and automatically tests the network connection and displays information about it.
NET TEST and Netscan When an Ethernet link is established, or Autotest is pressed while a link is up, a NET TEST is run automatically. This test consists of a series of Ping tests to multiple strategic targets in the network, a Trace Route to a set destination, and a scan of all the hosts in the local network. To display the NET TEST screen, select the test bar in the HOME screen and press ENTER. Individual test result DNS Ping results The Secondary DNS is only tested if the Primary DNS Ping fails .
IP details screen In the HOME screen, select the IP icon then press ENTER to display the IP screen. This screen shows detail of the IP status and address of the tester and the IP addresses of the network elements that are tested by the NET TEST.
Statistics, Port and VLAN scan When an Ethernet link is established, select the Port Rate / Duplex field in the HOME screen and press ENTER to display detailed information about the connection and the network. Traffic graph Shows the percentage of the port rate utilised over time.
Power over Ethernet When an Ethernet link is established, Autotest automatically tests the port for the presence of PoE and measures the available power by applying a minimum load. Select the PoE field in the HOME screen and press ENTER to display the PoE screen.

Select 802.1x to set the tester to use 802.1x security protocol if required Select IP to set up the IP behaviour of the tester including IP type, address, Netmask, Gateway and DNS if required.
Reports Reports are very important because they are documented proof that the ports have been tested. To select the required report style press F3 (MORE) then F1 (SETUP) in the HOME screen, then select REPORTS. Alternatively, the setup screen can be accessed by JOBS / OPTIONS / SETUP. The example 4-page Brief report below shows the results of tests on 3 ports: Page 1 This is the summary of all the tests. (To include your own logo in the PDF reports, select SETUP / SYSTEM / OWNER / F1 (LOGO).
Generating and Uploading Reports 1. Reports can be generated and exported to a USB key. To generate a report to USB: • Insert a USB key into the NaviTEK NT USB port. • From the home screen press F1 (JOBS). The display will show the Job List screen. • Scroll down to select the required Job • To generate a report for a single result, press ENTER to display the Results list, select the required result, press ENTER, then TO USB (F3).
To download results to an iPhone®: TM • • Download and open IDEAL AnyWARE • You will be prompted for the NaviTEK NT Wi-Fi password if it has been changed from the default value. • Once connected the App will display a list of JOBs on the NaviTEK NT. These can be selected and downloaded to the smartphone. • Once results are on the iPhone® they can then be transferred using email or other share mechanisms. App from iTunes®. Search and connect to NaviTEK NT.
