Single-Ended Mode

What’s lurking behind that wall plate?

Note

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.
