Duplex Settings:

= Full Duplex

= Half Duplex

NetTool displays duplex settings for each device, advertised or collision-determined. The underlinded indicator is the confirmed duplex and the non- underlined value is the advertised duplex. Duplex mismatches can impede communication between devices.

Link Level and Polarity: Polarity is displayed via waveform shaped icons.

Normal level, normal polarity

Normal level, reverse polarity

Low level, normal polarity

Low level, reverse polarity. Link level is displayed by the height of the waveform.

Cable Status: NetTool shows you the status of the cables connected to it and detects whether the cables are straight or swapped. If NetTool sees a swap cable problem, it will swap it internally, allowing you to troubleshoot past a simple swap cable problem.
