LinkRunner Duo Network MultiMeter Quick Reference Guide TM Welcome Thank you for purchasing Fluke Networks LinkRunner Duo! This test tool enables you to quickly verify Ethernet copper/fiber cables, network connectivity and availability. In addition, the instrument provides multiple tools for identifying the network device to which it is connected, identifies PoE ports, provides a Report generating function, and can serve as a reflector (optional feature) for Fluke Networks performance tests.
Cleaning To prevent moisture from entering the LinkRunner Duo, clean it with a moist cloth only. Do not use organic solvents, acid, or alkali solutions. Safety Information The following symbols are used on the product and in this document: j W ) NOT FOR CONNECTION TO PUBLIC TELEPHONE SYSTEMS * CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.

Note: If both the RJ45 LAN and 1000BASE-X fiber ports are connected to your network, LinkRunner Duo will try to link to the RJ45 LAN port first. If link has been established over fiber and you connect also to the RJ45 LAN port, no change in link will occur. Cable/Link Status: 1.

Home – Link Information and Wire Map functions Note: Wire Map and PoE detection do not apply when connecting to your network through the 1000BASE-X SFP fiber adapter. The Home screen displays link or Ethernet wire map information depending on the connection. If the RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected from the RJ-45 LAN port to your network, LinkRunner Duo will display link information which will include link, speed/duplex, cable length to the network connection, and network utilization.
Additional Home Screen Messages LinkRunner Duo is discovering over Ethernet LinkRunner Duo is discovering/authenticating 802.1X LinkRunner Duo is discovering over fiber Detected 802.1X, but failed to authenticate Detected 802.1X, but LinkRunner Duo is not configured for 802.1X Un-powered Device Token Ring Telco The PING function contains several screens that are accessed by scrolling to the right.
Duplicate IP addresses found is shown as follows: See the configuration for procedures to set up PING IP addresses. LLDP, CDP, EDP The LLDP, CDP, EDP function displays the switch address (MAC for LLDP, IP for CDP, MAC for EDP), switch name, slot/port information (if available), and VLAN information (if available ) such as VLAN ID and VOIP VLAN Reply ID. The first switch discovered is displayed first. Up to 5 switches can be displayed and are accessed by scrolling to the right.
Reflector Mode (optional feature) Enables packet reflector mode, which allows the instrument to be used as a remote device for the Fluke Networks network performance tests. Use the Configuration screen to set up the parameters. Saving Reports Allows you to save the report summary information which contains the current Home screen, PING screen, and LLDP, EDP, CDP screen. Saved reports must be viewed on a PC using the LinkRunner Connect PC application.
User Preferences When FDX is selected, forces the unit to use full duplex for non-negotiating ports (this option can only be enabled when the Reflector option is enabled) ; Select “.1X” to enable 802.1X security. This allows the unit to link to an 802.1X secure switch; Select the cable length units as either feet or meters; Set the power off timeout to either 10 minutes or infinity. Use the right arrow key to toggle units and the center button to save. You can configure 802.
Selecting the IP number/name to edit: When is highlighted, press the selection button (center). Use the up/down arrow keys to choose the IP number and the selection button to select it. Notice at the bottom of the display, the IP name changes as you scroll thru the 10 IP numbers. By default the names are IP1 – IP10. Editing the IP address to PING: Then, using the down arrow key, move down to the IP address. Press the selection button (center).
Reflector Mode configuration (optional feature) Highlight the packet type and then use the up or down arrow key to select the packet type that the reflector will respond to: - any packet - destination MAC is this LinkRunner Duo and the data string contains a special Fluke Networks byte string (generated by the Fluke Networks instrument) - the data string contains a special Fluke Networks byte string - destination MAC is this LinkRunner Duo - any non-broadcast packet Highlight the swap icon and then use the
