Inline Mode - Fluke NetTool Quick Reference Manual

Inline Mode

They say two ports are better than one...
NetTool can't tell you about what it doesn't
see. NetTool must sense traffic on a network
or device so it can supply protocol or health
information.
Inline means NetTool is connected between two
devices simultaneously like a PC and hub. Use this
mode to verify that a PC will communicate properly with
the network.
Plug NetTool inline between the PC and the
network.
Power up the PC.
Select AutoTest. The example shown above is
NetTool connected inline between a PC and a
hub. The icons represent the discovered devices.
Check AutoTest (page 19) for more on the icons.
