LR10G-200 Linkrunner 10G Overview

The LinkRunner 10G is an economical choice for testing 10 Gig networks. It eases the process of testing and setting up copper and fiber Ethernet networks by integrating crucial installation and triage tasks into one robust device. Its advanced applications enhance workflow efficiency by extending the device's use beyond testing, enabling users to check trouble tickets, conduct speed tests, configure network devices, and perform other tasks with its smartphone-like features.

As a state-of-the-art tester based on Android, it provides comprehensive network validation, qualification, and troubleshooting. It covers everything from the medium (copper/fiber) to the application (layers 1-7). This enhances the deployment speed, expedites the identification of issues, and boosts the productivity and efficacy of network installation and operations teams.

AutoTest

AutoTest is the most comprehensive testing application on the LinkRunner 10G. It enables quick execution of various test types and stores their configurations and network credentials for future access. The app is fully customizable, offering test "profiles" for different network connections, VLANs, and individual "test targets" that can run with any profile.

Multi-Gig Link Validation

The Wired Link Test displays advertised and actual speed and duplex to diagnose mismatch issues. On links over 1G, each pair channel is graded based on the minimum SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) observed, to verify copper media for Multi-Gig capability (1 / 2.5 / 5 / 10Gig) and provide root cause diagnosis when link speed downshifting occurs.

VLAN Identification & Analysis

The LinkRunner 10G Wired AutoTest automatically identifies and lists VLANs supported by the connected switch port by analyzing the VLAN IDs of the traffic received. The LinkRunner 10G continues to display the distribution of traffic by VLAN until another wired AutoTest has executed, or the link to the switch port is severed.

Switch Visibility

The LinkRunner 10G AutoTest automatically detects the nearest connected switch port by analyzing the xDP (CDP, LLDP, and EDP) protocols received. The LinkRunner 10G reports the content of the first xDP packet received as the nearest switch in the AutoTest result. It continues to monitor the xDP traffic received, and lists the source devices and the content of xDP traffic in the Switch Test detail.

Capture

The LinkRunner 10G can capture up to 10G line-rate to create a PCAP file of up to 1Gigabyte. Packet slicing and filtering are supported, and PCAP files can be uploaded to the Link-Live Cloud Service for easy sharing.

Performance

The LinkRunner 10G Performance app provides point-to-point performance testing with a UDP traffic stream through its wired network interface against up to eight NetAlly hardware/software endpoints. This test quantifies network performance in terms of target throughput rate, loss, latency, and jitter at a specified throughput.

iPerf testing is available to test the network throughput for TCP/UDP streams to an iPerf v3.0 server, such as the NetAlly Test Accessory.

LANBERT Media Qualification App

The LANBERT media qualification app for NetAlly’s multi-function professional instruments provides a simple and fast method of assessing the quality of transmission and available bandwidth in your copper and fiber cable plant. LANBERT generates and measures the transmission of line rate Ethernet frames over your network cabling infrastructure, qualifying its ability to support 1G/10G on fiber and 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G on copper links. (Test requires two instruments, two EtherScope nXG units, two LinkRunner 10G units, or one of each)
