Chapter 6: Operation
NETWORK PORTS (USE RIGHT JACK): Select Network Ports to
display the capabilities of a LAN device. LAN devices broadcast
their capability in terms of speed, duplex, and other features
(termed “advertised capabilities”) to other LAN devices. When
two LAN devices are connected together, they “negotiate” to
attain the highest common denominator for communicating on
the link. For instance, a Gigabit switch with an advertised
capability of 1000 Mbps, full-duplex will negotiate down to
100 Mbps, half-duplex when connected to a 100-Mbps, half-
duplex LAN device. The LPV displays individual LAN devices
advertised capabilities and also can connect INLINE between two
LAN devices to display the negotiated results.
NOTE: The RIGHT jack is protected from PoE voltage. Use it
when connecting to devices.
