@Dashrender It does report all network test data to the free online results management platform, Link-Live. For the Model 200 and 300, there is a mobile interface through the built in AP that you can look at real-time test data. Regardless of what model you have, it also automatically send you an email with all of the data that you can reply to to comment in the cloud service.

If you were to do an AMA, be prepared for questions

Also, before committing to giving away stuff, make sure your carrier pigeons can make it outside the US

That first part seems a bit ominous... haha

As for the second part, we can make it out to most countries, so no worries there! Great point though, how many people are US vs outside US here?

@art_of_shred It has a built-in mobile AP that you can connect to, pull up a browser once you're connected and go to 172.16.9.9 and run your test you can see all real time data

@dafyre It runs on the 2.4 band, but they are for checking wired only, it's just a way to communicate from the Linksprinter to your mobile device.

But we do have a killer wireless troubleshooting tool called AirCheck that can tell you all kinds of information like signal strength, detecting rogua APs, interference testing (if you have a crazy microwave or something), etc. But that tool is definitely a bit pricier around $2,000.

Does Fluke have any tools that are capable of scanning multiple connections at once? What if we had to run several lines at once, terminated them and wanted to check for any issues.

Testing each line is doable, but if I were an installer I'd want to check several at once to see if there were any issues and resolve them immediately before moving my equipment / ladder etc to the next location.

The answer to this question really depends on your testing objective. If you need to validate connectivity to multiple resources such as intnernal FTP sites, external web sites, key cloud services used by your organization, you can do that by setting up a test profile in either the LinkRunner AT or OneTouch AT and program in up to 10 "targets" to validate in a single test. If you need to validate the cable, you will need to plug into each cable individually.

@JaredBusch No the LinkSprinter can't, but see the above post on LinkRunner and/or OneTouch - it CAN tell Req. vs. Rec. as well as class of PoE

Does anyone have any wireless issues or projects coming up at all? Or mostly concerned with wired in this group?

Didn't think I had any questions for Fluke, but I do! What's the pricing on your gigabit network taps?

It can range - from several hundred dollars for a single port inline tap to 100K for multiple port 10/40G taps. I could track down more info for you if you like, just let me know.

@Dashrender Did you hear that Fluke Networks split and part of us was acquired by NETSCOUT? So we're currently transition our products and part of the company to NETSCOUT - although the datacom installation and certification will stay with Fluke. Here's a link that outlines everything a bit more: http://www.flukenetworks.com/content/fnet-netscout-social-migration-page

Really bummed I missed this session, it looked like a really good one! How'd it go?
