What is NetTool?
What? More busywork to slow me down?
NetTool is easy to use and saves time! It is a unique
handheld device that combines cable, network, and PC
configuration testing into a single, handheld unit.
NetTool was designed specifically to speed your
frontline network troubleshooting, “moves, adds &
changes,” and desktop-to-network connectivity work.
I’m bored and want to kill time…
Access the
NetTool Users Manual
on the CD-ROM
disk that came with your purchase if you have a lot of
time to kill. Hey, you can also surf to
www.flukenetworks.comfor the latest news on
NetTool, troubleshooting tips, and service information.

How to use NetTool
I don’t have a lot of time to kill, how do I light this
candle?
NetTool has two RJ-45 jacks, one on either side of the
unit. Plug it in and turn it on…either between two
devices like a hub and a PC or directly into a wall plate
to check a network drop.
The first screen you see
when you power up NetTool
is the launch pad to all of
NetTool’s features. Press
the Select button to begin.
afq40s.bmp
Think of NetTool as your virtual eyes and ears in
checking PCs connected to networks. NetTool can be
used in two modes: Single-Ended Mode (page 4) and
Inline Mode (page 7).
Note
If you have not registered your NetTool you
will see a Registration Reminder Screen
followed by a screen that displays how many
option trials remain.
Be sure to install NetTool Blaster and
NetTool Toolkit, the PC-based software that
came with your purchase on CD-ROM (check
the online help for those programs for more
information). These software programs
enable you to transfer data between a
NetTool and a PC.

Single-Ended Mode
What’s lurking behind that wall plate?
Note
To optimize discovery, connect NetTool with
the device (like a PC) off, turn NetTool on,
press AutoTest, then turn the device on.
⇒Plug an RJ-45 (supplied PN 642774) cable into a
network drop or a single network device, such as a
hub, PC, server, or printer.
⇒Plug the other end of the cable into either side of
NetTool, power up NetTool, and start AutoTest by
pressing the Select (middle) button. The NetTool
screen displays the NetTool icon and the other
device icon.

Use this mode to quickly prove a network drop or
network device is active, determine its speed and
duplex settings, confirm healthy frames are being sent,
or check connectivity to the network (when plugged into
a hub or switch). Check
AutoTest
(page 22) for more
information on the icons. Check
Ping
(page 30) to
learn how to ping a device while in single-ended mode.

Cable Testing
You can check cable length, detect split pairs, or use
the wiremap adapter (supplied PN 1563930) to verify
pin-to-pin continuity from the near to the far end of a
cable.
Cable Test
⇒Plug the cable to test
into the jack on either
side of the NetTool.
Power up NetTool.
AutoTest flashes.
Press Select.
⇒Highlight the Spool icon
and press Select to
see cable status.
NetTool detects cable
length, opens, shorts,
and split pairs.
⇒This applies for patch
cables as well except
you would plug both
ends in to the NetTool
and then press Select.

Wiremap
When both ends of a cable cannot be connected to
NetTool (e.g., one end is in wiring closet), use the
external wiremap function.
⇒Attach the near end of the cable to the NetTool.
⇒Attach the wiremap adapter to the far end of the
cable.
⇒Power up NetTool.
AutoTest flashes.
⇒Press Select.
⇒Highlight the Wiremap
icon and press Select.
⇒If pin configuration
checks out and there
are no opens, shorts or
split pairs, you can rule
out the cable as the
cause of a problem.
