The app is fully customizable with test "Profiles" for Wired network connections, and individual Test Targets.
AutoTest App and Profiles AutoTest Chapter Contents This chapter describes AutoTest Profiles, screens, settings, and test results.
AutoTest App and Profiles AutoTest Overview AutoTest consists of three distinct testing levels: Test Targets, Profiles, and Profile Groups. At the bottom level is a set of individual Test Targets that connect to network services, such as a web app or FTP site. A Test Target defines parameters including type, target URL/IP address, port number, and Pass/Fail thresholds. More complex tests, like HTTP, allow further Pass/Fail criteria, such as strings that must or must not be contained in the HTTP body.
AutoTest App and Profiles A Test Target can be added to and used in any number of Profiles. A Profile contains a series of individual network tests. There is one Profile type: Wired which includes connection tests and credentials for a Wired VLAN. Profiles provide an automated and consistent way to verify a network from layer 1 through layer 7. A Profile can be added to and used in any number of Profile Groups. A Profile Group is a custom-named collection of Profiles.
AutoTest App and Profiles You can create as many Profile Groups, Profiles, and Test Targets as you want.
AutoTest App and Profiles Managing Profiles and Profile Groups Profiles are a series, or suite, of tests designed to analyze the different characteristics of your networks. The LinkRunner 10G AutoTest app features one type of test profile: Wired Profiles test copper and fiber connections. Factory Default Profiles The LinkRunner begins with a default version of the Wired AutoTest profile type which you can customize, delete, or replace for your purposes.

Back to Title and Contents LinkRunner 10G User Guide Capture App Packet capture is the process of recording network traffic in the form of packets as data streams back and forth over the wired connection. Packet captures can help you analyze network problems, debug client/server communications, track applications and content, ensure that users are adhering to administration policies, and verify network security. On LinkRunner, the capture process uses the Wired Test port .
Capture App Capture Settings The Capture app settings allow you to designate file and slice sizes, and apply filters to capture and analyze only certain packet types. For example, you can set a filter to capture only packets related to a specific application (based on IP address and port number). When you open Capture from Home and do not configure any filters, all packets from the switch are captured. The default capture saves all the packets sent from the local switch to the LinkRunner.
Capture App File Size Limit: Touch this field to specify a size for the capture file. The default size is 1 MB, and largest size allowed is 1000 MB.
Capture App stops when the captured file reaches this size. When capture is running, the capture screen displays the current file size as data is captured. Slice Size: Touch this field to select a specific frame slice size or enter a custom value. The Slice Size setting limits how much of each packet is captured. A smaller slice size is useful when you are interested in the packet’s header but do not need to see all the payload data. The default is Full Packet.
Capture App Port: Specify a port number to capture only traffic from that UDP or TCP port. For example, select port 80 to capture HTTP traffic only. NOT: Touch the toggle to enable this setting, which directs the LinkRunner NOT to capture the values you have entered in the filters above. For example, if you have set up a filter to capture traffic to and from IP 10.250.0.70 on Port 80 and you enable NOT, all traffic will be captured except traffic to and from 10.250.0.70 on port 80.
Capture App Running and Viewing Captures To start Capturing, tap START at the top of the app screen. The current Status of the capture and any applied filters are shown under the capture type .

Back to Title and Contents LinkRunner 10G User Guide Discovery App The LinkRunner 10G Discovery application creates an inventory of the devices on your networks along with their attributes: device types, names, addresses, interfaces, VLANs, resources, and other connected or associated devices. The app allows you to identify and analyze network devices and acts as a jumpingoff point for further analysis using other apps, such as Path Analysis and connection tests.
Discovery App Discovery Chapter Contents This chapter describes how the Discovery process and app screens work, shows examples of Discovery data, and details the Discovery settings.
Discovery App Introduction to Discovery Discovery finds, classifies, and displays the details of network components. Information provided by Discovery can include the following: l IP, BSSID, and MAC addresses l Device Names l Device Connectivity l SNMP Data l Network Problems l Interface Details and Statistics Devices are discovered via ARP and Ping sweeps; SNMP, DNS, mDNS, and netBIOS queries; and passive traffic monitoring. Discovery classifies each device as it is found.
Discovery App connection (test or management) is established, the active discovery process begins. Discovery notification icons indicate the progress of active discovery. This icon indicates that no links are currently available for active discovery, either because none of the ports enabled for discovery are connected or because AutoTest is running. The Discovery app consistently monitors network traffic, but the active discovery process reruns every 90 minutes by default.
Discovery App Main Discovery List Screen The main Discovery screen lists all the devices the LinkRunner has discovered.
Discovery App Like in AutoTest and other LinkRunner screens, the icons in Discovery change color to indicate a Warning or Failure condition. Discovery also displays device icons in Blue to indicate Problem-related information that does not constitute a warning or failure, and Green to indicate that a previous Problem has been resolved. (See the Problem Settings to adjust enabled Problems and thresholds.) The Discovery screen, and other app screens with long lists, support fast scrolling.

An AutoTest Wired Profile must run to establish test port links. The last listed Wired Profile runs automatically when you start up the LinkRunner if a connection is available. See also Test and Management Ports. Devices Discovered Through Other Devices By default, LinkRunner discovers devices from SNMP tables of other devices.
Discovery App from SNMP tables of the device types listed here, you can uncheck their boxes. Routers and Subnets When the Routers and Subnets checkbox is enabled, any discovered routers are included in discovery results. In addition, if Discovery has SNMP access to a discovered router, its routing tables are read, and the next hop routers are added to the Discovery list.
Discovery App also added to the Subnets list. This process continues until all the available SNMP credentials are tried for the added routers. NOTES: Discovery does not sweep every discovered subnet; discovered subnets are only added to the subnets list. To perform discovery in a specific subnet, see Extended Ranges above.
Discovery App For example, when LinkRunner is reading the CDP and LLDP caches of one switch, it will contain other switches. If this option is enabled, the LinkRunner adds those other switches, even if they are not in discovery ranges. NOTE: To Discover switches at another site, add one of the switches of that site to Discovery Extended Ranges. VoIP Devices When the VoIP Devices checkbox is enabled, discovery will add any VoIP devices that it finds in SNMP tables of other devices regardless of the subnet.
Discovery App Switches provides best chance of finding all WiFi clients. Virtual Machines When the Virtual Machines checkbox is enabled, discovery adds any virtual machines that it finds in SNMP tables of other devices.

Cable Test App When a cable has no detected faults, "good" is shown next to each pair above the length measurement. Cable tests that detect a "split" or "open" in the cable also display the corresponding words.
Cable Test App This unterminated cable test image shows a shorted cable between pins 4, 5, and 7.
Cable Test App Terminated WireView Testing Using a WireView accessory provides more detailed, per-wire results. A WireView #1 is included with your LinkRunner 10G. Additional WireViews 2-6 are available for purchase. To run a terminated cable test, connect the left side RJ-45 port to a cable terminated with an external WireView Cable ID accessory. The terminated cable test screen displays the number of the WireView attached, unless a cable fault prevents the LinkRunner from detecting the WireView.
Cable Test App The image above indicates a crossover between pairs 1, 2 and 3, 6 and a WireView accessory number 5.
Cable Test App The last row of WireView results indicates whether the cable is shielded: an unbroken line between sh means a shielded cable is detected. Toning Function You can also trace a cable using a Fluke Networks* IntelliTone™ Probe, or any analog probe, and the Tone function. Connect a cable into the left side RJ-45 port, touch the FAB, and select the appropriate Tone option for your probe.
