Getting Started Guide

The DTX-NSM Network Service Module lets you do the following:

•Verify connection to the network, including connection speed, duplex configuration, link wiring, and PoE service (wiring and PoE functions for twisted pair only)

•Ping IP addresses

•Monitor network traffic for utilization, collisions, errors, and broadcast packets

•Blink a port's activity LED

•Use Fluke Networks LinkRunner Cable ID locators (optional) to identify link connections at a patch panel (twisted pair only)

Note

Running network tests on a fiber link requires an optional SFP module.
