Single-Ended Mode - Fluke NetTool Quick Reference Manual

Single-Ended Mode

What's lurking behind that wall plate?
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.
