Inline between a Device and the Network

Caution

When operating inline with a POE-powered device connected to NetTool, make sure that NetTool is not plugged into the AC adapter or into a serial device that is grounded or damage may occur to the equipment.

This screen reflects NetTool’s connection to devices.

Note that the duplex settings and link speeds are underscored. The underscore signifies a determined or negotiated result while the non-underlined value signifies the advertised value.

The diagram also indicates the duplex settings (see Table 3-2) for each device. Duplex mismatches can cause communication between devices to be impeded.

Table 3-2. Duplex Settings

If NetTool is connected inline between a device and the network, a diagram similar to that shown in Figure 3-5 is displayed at the top of the screen:
