Triplett TVR10/100/1000 User Manual

Multiple test sets in one tester: To accomplish its goals, the
TVR1000 performs tests that, prior to the TVR1000, required 8 dif-
ferent test sets. Plus, the multi-functionality is integrated to provide
a combination of quick results that are not available in any other
tester. If the TVR1000 is divided by function, it yields a:
●
Hub/switch/PC verifier that indicates the equipment
Device Type (is it a hub/switch or PC?).
●
LAN speedometer that verifies the speed (10, 100, 1000
MB/s) and duplex of the link (full, half).
●
LAN voltmeter that detects Power over Ethernet (PoE) and
indicates whether it is end span or mid span.
●
Straight thru/crossover cable simulator that indicates
the type of patch cable required.
●
On-line network activity monitor (inline mode) that indicates
when data is being transmitted (and at what speed,duplex, etc).
●
Tone probe and tone generator for tracing cable locations
(and the port used)
●
Cable pairs tester that verifies what cable pairs are wired and
identifies straight thru and crossover configurations.
●
Cable termination tester: Tests for the existence of a LAN
device connected at the end of the cable (determines number of
cable pairs required by the device).
It is not only the individual functions of the TVR1000 that makes it
so useful... but the
creative combination of features that yield an
efficient tester that saves time and gets the LAN working quickly.
About the manual: The manual presumes that you have a basic
understanding of Base-T LAN terms such as “hub”, "switch", “PC”
and "PoE" and are aware that every connection to a LAN device
requires the use of a “straight thru” or “crossover" cable. It does not
expect you to be a LAN expert.
