Whether you're a network technician or PC technician on the Help Desk, you know what a challenge it can be to resolve a troublesome desktop-to-network connectivity problem. Bad RJ crimp? Wrong e-mail server? Duplex mismatch? Or maybe a bad NIC? Fluke has put an end to the guessing game with the new NetTool tester. NetTool combines cable, network, and PC configuration testing in one palm-sized tool, so you'll have everything you need to quickly resolve even the toughest connectivity problem. NetTool includes a cable-testing capability, eliminating the need for a separate basic cable tester. NetTool is capable of simultaneous monitoring network health (frames sent, utilization, broadcasts, errors, collisions) for full-duplex connections. It provides a Problem Log that concisely lists problems detected on the PC and network such as addressing issues, email and web problems. The additional benefits include individual frame counts for both the desktop and the network conversations, and showing protocol mismatches between the PC and the network, with unwanted protocols identification.
