Overall Satisfaction with LinkRunner AT Network AutoTester

We use the LinkRunner AT Tester to find pathways as well as quickly identify what interfaces need to be configured. It is a great tool that we provide to new techs to help with the daily moves. We also use it to help troubleshoot connectivity issues by helping to find physical layer issues within the network that we are troubleshooting. The tools saves a massive amount of time.

Pros

  • Finds breaks in cables
  • Identifies switch ports that end devices are connected too.
  • identifies cable lengths to ensure that they are with specifications.

Cons

  • It could be updated for Mgig or 10Gb.
  • Some devices should have SFP+ modules capabilities
  • Could be combined with other tools
  • Saves time which saves money
  • Allows for us to identify where issues are quickly and who the issue belongs too.
  • Testing cables has been much easier.
The network tester is one of the easest devices I have ever used. It does have capabilities that other testers simply don't have. Being able to identify the switch port it is plugged into, the address of the switch, the switch name, along with the VLAN has helped on so many occasions.
I feel that the LinkRunner autotester is just a simple device with an extremely easy to use and understand interface. It does the job that is required without the need of a bunch of additonal bloat that is never used. I find it to be the best tester on the market.

The tool was recently used to help identify a hardware issue. We were having connectivity problems which was identified with the LinkRunner that has the SFP to test fiber connections. We were able to show the vendor on sight that the link was good and that it was the vendor equipment that had the issue This resulted in them replacing the physical equipment to bring services back online.
