Using The Nearest Switch Test; Using The Cable Test - Fluke LinkRunner AT 1000 User Manual

Using the Nearest Switch Test

The Switch test screen displays the nearest switch. The
nearest switch is discovered by locating the "port
advertisement" on the first few packets seen by LR-AT.
Figure 17. Nearest Switch Results
Select Flash Port to stimulate the switch to flash the LED
on the port that the LR-AT is connected into. This can help
locate the switch port in the closet. Set the Flash Port flash
rate from slow to fast to differentiate from the other switch
port LED flash rates.

Using the Cable Test

There are three use models for using the Cable screen:
 Connect a cable from the top LR-AT RJ-45 connector
into the side cable test RJ-45 connector to measure
length and wire mapping.
 Connect an open cable (non-terminated) into the top
LR-AT RJ-45 connector and measure length. An un-
terminated cable can also be traced using a Fluke
Networks IntelliTone tester and the Tone function.
 Connect a cable into the top LR-AT RJ-45 connector
and select Tone. Using a Fluke Networks IntelliTone
tester, you can trace the wire or locate it in the switch
closet.
