Quick Reference Guide

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. You can use the included

LinkRunner Connect PC application to quickly configure and update the instrument, download and view reports, and

other useful functions.

Navigation

Home screen – Displays link, speed/duplex, length, utilization, security authentication, connection, and

wire map information.

PING screen – Displays (scrolling from left to right) a Tx/Rx summary of all devices to the right which

will include: the Router, DHCP, DNS, and each user configured IP address.

LLDP (IEEE), EDP (Extreme Networks), CDP (CISCO) screen – Displays the switch address (MAC or IP),

switch name, slot/port, VLAN ID (optional), and VOIP VLAN Reply ID (optional).

Power over Ethernet - Displays the Power over Ethernet voltage levels for each Ethernet connector

pin.

Flash Hub Port screen – Causes the LinkRunner Duo to continuously link and unlink at a selected

speed. This is useful when identifying which port LinkRunner Duo is connected to. Use the

LLDP/EDP/CDP test first if your network supports it.

Reports screen – Allows you to save up to four reports. Each report contains a summary of the Home

screen, PING screen, and LLDP, EDP, CDP screen. The reports must be viewed on the LinkRunner

Connect PC application.

Packet Reflector Screen (optional feature) – Enables packet reflector mode, which allows the

instrument to be used as a remote device for the Fluke Networks MetroScope™ Service Provider’s

network performance tests. Use the Configuration screen to set up the parameters.

Toner screen – Generates a digital tone (IntelliTone) signal , or two different analog tone signals

(400 Hz) and (1 KHz) to be used with the Fluke Networks IntelliTone product or common

analog probes.

Configuration screen – Multiple menu functions are accessed in this screen. The configuration screen

accesses: the LinkRunner Duo version information; Fiber SFP adapter information; user preferences;

enter up to 10 PING addresses; enable options; edit or delete reports; configure and enable packet

reflector mode; select a VLAN; enable or disable 802.1X security; perform a firmware update; or exit

back to the Home screen. See the Configuration section for details.

Is this an active RJ45 LAN port?

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.

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. If a fiber cable is connected from the 1000BASE-X SFP fiber

port to your network, everything mentioned above is displayed, minus the

cable length measurement, plus a dBm fiber signal strength measurement.

If LinkRunner Duo detects PoE, this screen will display PoE information. Notice

the PoE label and wire pairs are displayed.

This screen is displayed if LinkRunner Duo has successfully linked, and 802.1X

has been detected and authenticated.

Note: Cable information is obtained through the RJ-45 LAN port only.

Good cable

Unknown cable

Split cable

Shorted cable

Open cable - If the RJ-45 Ethernet cable is not connected to a WireviewTM

Office Locator, or to your network (open cable), LinkRunner Duo will display

cable information.

If the RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected from the RJ-45 LAN port to a WireviewTM

Office Locator, LinkRunner Duo will display wire map information which

includes length, open, shorts, and wire pair mapping.

The PING function contains several screens that are accessed by scrolling to the right. The first PING screen displays a

summary showing a count for total number of packets transmitted and replies received. As you scroll to the right,

the PING provides details on the Router, DHCP, DNS and up to 10 additional IP addresses are displayed as shown

below.

The 10 additional IP addresses are entered in the Configuration screen, or by using the LinkRunner Connect PC

application and transferring them via a provided USB cable to the LinkRunner Duo.

Note: If configured for DHCP, and the DHCP server cannot be found, PING will display .

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. If none can be discovered, use Flash Hub Port to

discover the switch slot/port information.

PoE displays which pins/wires have PoE (power over Ethernet) voltage and their

voltage levels. 0V indicates ground pin/wires.

Flash Hub Port

The Flash Hub Port function will negotiate link and then unlink at a selected

speed allowing you to locate a corresponding switch slot/port by its flashing LED.

The slide bar determines the speed. To the right is faster (rabbit); to the left is

slower (turtle).

IntelliTone

This function can be paired up with the Fluke Networks IntelliToneTM Probe or an

analog probe. It allows you to use LinkRunner Duo as the tone generation device

along with the IntelliTone Probe to trace connections using either a digital tone

(Fluke Networks IntelliToneTM), or two different analog tones.

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. Make sure

LinkRunner Duo is connected to a PC using the provided USB cable.

To save a report: Highlight the Report symbol and press the selection button. Use

the left/right arrow keys to select which report number/name to save the

summary information to (default names are Report01 – Report08; which can be

edited from the configuration screen), and press the selection button again.

report empty report saved

Configuration

The Configuration screen accesses multiple functions: It will display the LinkRunner Duo serial number, MAC address,

and version information. It allows you to enable 802.1X security; change the cable length measurements from feet to

meters, set the power off timeout, use DHCP or manually enter the LinkRunner Duo IP address, enter up to 10 IP

addresses to PING, and enable options.

To avoid a duplicate IP address on your network, use DHCP instead of manually entering the IP address.

LinkRunner information

Displays LinkRunner Duo’s serial number, MAC address, and software version

numbers.

Fiber SFP information

Displays status of the SFP fiber adapter, the SFP adapter type, vendor information,

revision code information, and the SFP fiber adapter serial number. Some information

may not be provided by the SFP adapter vendor and will be left blank.
