Single-Ended AutoTest Results
AutoTest result screens vary depending on the device that NetTool is connected to.
Note
This results described in this section are provided as examples of what information NetTool provides.
Network Drop
If NetTool is connected to a network drop, it displays one of the following icons to identify the service that is active on the jack:
•
Telco: shows the tip and ring pins (in the case of voice being carried on an
•
Token Ring: indicates the presence of a Token Ring network.
•Ethernet: tells you if the jack is hot and what is on the other end (for example, a hub or a switch). It also provides the speed and duplex setting, level, polarity, and the segment ID so you can pick the right network to hook up to a PC (if there are multiple jacks).
•
No Response: A dangling, flashing power cord indicates that NetTool senses an Ethernet device but the device is not responding. This usually means that the device is powered off.
Caution
Although NetTool can detect Telco signals, it is not designed to be used on the public telephone network. Disconnect immediately. NetTool cannot reliably discover Telco information with the AC adapter or serial cable connected. It also detects ISDN signals but cannot reliably detect the S/T interface.
