Key Features of Veri-Net Pro
C
onnecting equipment to an
untested wall outlet can be
risky business. Why chance
damaging your equipment by
plugging it into an incompatible
electrical interface? The Veri-Net
Pro is
the
essential tool you need
for managing, installing, and
maintaining network or telecomm
systems in an easy and safe
manner.
The Veri-Net Pro quickly
identifies the type of network
or telephone connection on
an outlet’s RJ-45 jack. It tells
you if it’s a 10BASE-T (Ethernet),
100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet),
Token Ring, analog telephone,
PBX, or ISDN connection. The
About Veri-Net Pro
tester warns you if unidentified
signals occupy the jack or if the
jack isn’t connected.
For example, the Veri-Net Pro
can help you avoid PBX systems
that supply voltage and current
levels that far exceed what your
modems or network devices
can handle. When conducting
cable and network tests, use
the tester to verify that there are
no damaging voltages present
before hooking up expensive
cable testers or protocol
analyzers.
What’s more, knowing an
outlet’s connection can save
you time when troubleshooting
physical-layer problems, such as
whether a workstation is correctly
connected to a LAN. You can also
eliminate the guesswork when
determining the outlet you need
or tracing cables.
Other typical applications
include using the Veri-Net Pro
to organize a messy wiring
closet, verifying that cable runs
connected at the far end are still
connected at the panel. Or use
the tester when punching down
a new connection to verify that
your outlet is functional.
Here’s how the tester works.
The Veri-Net Pro scans all eight
wires connected to an RJ-45
outlet. It identifies the type
of system connected or the
presence of potentially harmful
signals.
The tester’s flexible 6-inch
(15.2-cm) pigtailed connector
cable helps you access hard-to-
reach wallplates behind desks
and furniture. If the outlet is
sideways or upside down, just
plug in the tester and flip it over
to identify line and network
connection status.
Eight LEDs indicate whether
you’re attached to a device
(10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or Token
Ring) or a line (analog, ISDN, or
PBX). Both 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX LEDs will light up if
the attached device is configured
for 10/100 autonegotiation.
