1. About live active networks When testing an installed cable please verify if a voltage is present on a network by using the built in voltage detector If voltage is detected unplug the power adapter from the network equipment first Never use the tester on live network and cables To do so plug one end of the cable to the remote unit s jack The result will be displayed on the LINE TEST LED on the unit If the LED lights up voltage is detected Green indicates normal polarity red indicates reverse polarity and yellow indicates AC voltage Available Test Modes e Automatic Mode Set the tester to Automatic mode by holding down the Step button for one second If the tester is in Network Test mode press either the Step button or the Backward button to change the tester to Automatic mode e Network Test Mode Set the tester to Network Test mode by holding down the Backward button for 1 second e Step Test Manual Mode If the tester is in Automatic mode press the Step or Backward button once to change the tester to Step Test Manual mode If the tester is in Network Test mode press the Step or Backward button twice to change the tester to Step Test Manual mode Test Mode LED The tester s test mode status LED indicates what mode it is in e Automatic Mode LED is blinking e Network Test Mode LED is lit2. circuit Connect one end of a cable the other end connected to a wall jack or patch panel to the main tester unit s TX Net Test jack Set the tester to Network Test Mode see instructions above The tester will automatically check for network and display the result on the main tester s LED display that s labeled Active Network e 10 Base T Network indicated by a solid lit LED e 10 100 or 10 100 1000Mbps Network indicated by a blinking LED e No activity indicated by a blank LED The activity LED of the corresponding port of the connected network switches hubs or NICs will be lit during this operation This allows the user to trace the end of a wire throughout the network Note Acrossover cable must be used when testing a NIC Checking an Inactive Network When used on an inactive network LAN Tracker will not be able to indicate the network speed via its LED display as explained above However LAN Tracker can find the network s intended bandwidth by checking how the cables are wired The following diagrams can be used as reference nlnln IES 1 1 12 3 45 67 8 12345678 1 23 45 6 78 10 100 Mbps 10 100 1000 Mbps 10 Base T Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet HUB NIC with Auto MDI MDI X Function Using the Tone Generator Function Tone will always be sent through the cable that s connected to the main unit s TX port To send the tone a specific pin wire of the cable set the tester to Manual Step T

4. User s Guide CTK LNTRK LAN Tracker Overview Addlogix s CTK LNTRK Tracker is a 3 in 1 tester that includes the functions of 1 network tester 2 tone generator and 3 pin by pin cable tester PH 120 LAN Tracker is a portable easy to operate tester that combines the functions of tone generator and network activity detector that can flash network hub s switches and NIC s port to indicate the network port It also performs loo back or remote validation of network data voice and coaxial cables by displaying the test result on its LED display The display shows pin by pin configuration that can move forward or backwards in both automatic and manual fashion Other functions include validating the integrity of a cable s shielding and it can trace a cable through its tone generator function and its ability to turn on network port s activity on Hubs and NICs Its line tester tests for line polarity and detects whether an AC or DC voltage is present on the line The tester can also identify an inactive network s speed 10 100 1000mbps Features e Provides pin by pin configuration of 1 8 pin cables e Detects network s activity and speed e Detects inactive network device type and speed e Traces cable network port with its built in tone generator or its ability to turn on the activity LEDs on network hubs switches and NICs e Checks line polarity and detects if AC DC voltage is present Operations 1
