How to use NetTool

I don’t have a lot of time to kill, how do I light this candle?

NetTool has two RJ-45 jacks, one on either side of the unit. Plug it in and turn it on…either between two devices like a hub and a PC or directly into a wall plate to check a network drop.

The first screen you see when you power up NetTool is the launch pad to all of NetTool’s features. Press the Select button to begin.

Think of NetTool as your virtual eyes and ears in checking PCs connected to networks. NetTool can be used in two modes: Single-Ended Mode (page 4) and Inline Mode (page 7).

Note

If you have not registered your NetTool you will see a Registration Reminder Screen followed by a screen that displays how many option trials remain.

Be sure to install NetTool Blaster and NetTool Toolkit, the PC-based software that came with your purchase on CD-ROM (check the online help for those programs for more information). These software programs enable you to transfer data between a NetTool and a PC.
