LinkRunner

 G2

Smart Network Tester

The LinkRunner G2 is an Android-based network 

testing and troubleshooting tool. It allows 

networking professionals to easily verify network 

connectivity and PoE functionality and to 

validate cabling. LinkRunner G2 can also act as 

a packet reflector for performance tests run by 

other netAlly testers and includes a VLAN Monitor 

and packet Capture tools.

•  The LinkRunner G2 interface applies many of 

the operations typical of any Android device. 

Use swiping touchscreen motions to navigate 

through screens and to drag down the top notifi

-

cation panel.

•  The LinkRunner G2 features a main 

AutoTest

screen, a 

Switch Test

 screen, and a 

Cable Test

screen. Swipe left and right to move through the 

three test screens.

•  To run AutoTest, connect the RJ-45 port or the 

Fiber port on the top of the LinkRunner G2 to an 

active network switch. Touch the NetAlly logo 

icon at the bottom of the screen to open the 

LinkRunner G2 testing application.

•  The Switch test tab displays the information 

from the nearest switch information from the 

initial switch port advertisement (CDP, LLDP).

•  The Cable test can help you determine cable 

length and status, wiremap patch and structured 

cabling, and locate cables.
