ValidatorPRO and ValidatorPRO-NT Ethernet Network Management Tools
2
The ValidatorPRO includes an integrated optical power meter that
measures optical power at 850/1300/1310/1490/1550 nm on mul-
timode or single-mode fiber to address an increasing number of
Ethernet networks that now include optical links.
The ValidatorPRO-NT version includes a comprehensive set of fea-
tures for testing a network’s active network capabilities: measure
Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ensure the correct power is available
on the correct pins, use port discovery to ensure the correct speed
and duplex capability are available; connect at gigabit Ethernet
and run ping tests to verify connectivity to IP hosts; discover net-
work devices using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) or Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLDP), discovery and display essential infor-
mation regarding functionality and configuration of 802.11 b/g/n
networks.

Plan-Um Cabling Installation and Planning Software
ValidatorPRO includes the updated powerful Plan-Um planning and reporting software used to plan network archi-
tectures, organize cable information, estimate cable length requirements, and document test results. Plan-Um helps set
up each job, defines the scope of the job, aids in testing cable runs, and produces reports for the installer and customer.
The Network Tools feature provides a quick view of the network architecture and lets users document moves, adds, and
changes.
Used in conjunction with Plan-Um, ValidatorPRO provides confidence in the physical properties of cable runs and the
overall capability of the network.
