Multiple test sets in one tester:
To accomplish its goals, the
TVR1000 performs tests that, prior to the TVR1000, required 7 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).
●
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" and
“PC” 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.

TVR10/100/1000 ("TVR1000") List of Functions
The TVR1000 performs the following functions:
10/100/1000 BASE-T LAN Tests:
The TVR1000 plugs into active
hubs, switches and PCs to verify 10, 100 and 1000 Base-T operation.
Only the Main Unit is required for these tests.
●
Verifies if
a LAN device (hub, switch, PC) is
ON, its speeds and
duplex capability and if it is wired as a hub, switch or PC.
●
Verifies
the negotiated speed and duplex between any two
LAN devices (
Inline
mode)
.
●
Checks if straight thru or crossover patch cable is required.
●
Finds speed bottlenecks on 10, 100 and 1000 Base-T LANs.
●
On-line monitors LAN link (between two devices).
Inline
mode.
Cable Testing:
The following tests are performed by the TVR1000
Main Unit and Remote Probe (except where indicated).
●
Locates miswired cables.
●
Locates missing cables.
●
Locates cables that can not support 100Base-T4 and 1000
Base-T operation (for LANs that require 4 pair wiring).*
●
Tests connection to hub (pairs connected to hub).*
●
Tests connection to PC (pairs connected to hub).*
●
Tests installed cables (pairs wired and type).
●
Tests patch cables (pairs wired and type).
●
Remote Probe helps locate and trace inactive cables.
●
Remote Probe traces active cables connected to hubs
and PC without interfering with LAN performance.
* Test performed by the Main Unit only (does not require the
use of the Remote Probe).
