Fluke OneTouch SeriesII Network Assistant
In today’s switched, Fast Ethernet and TCP/IP environments, network
technicians are faced with the usual challenging problems — congestion, server
access, errors and port identification. With the One Touch Network Analyzer, you
are one touch away from solving complex network problems.
Features:
- Verifies connectivity to a list of user-defined devices such
as routers, servers and switches
- Discovers switch information and maps devices to individual
switch ports
- Pinpoints duplicate IP addresses on your network with a
single touch
- Troubleshoots network problems with remote monitoring and
control via a web browser
- Identifies cable length, opens, crossed wires, and split
pairs
- Identifies network connections that are not currently used by
desktop connections
Switch Discovery
The OneTouch Series II uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) queries
to obtain information about discovered switches. The OneTouch reports switch
information such as name, description, and uptime. In addition, the OneTouch
reports a list of switch interfaces, interface type and whether each switch
interface is up or down.
Station to Switch Port Mapping
The station to switch port-mapping features allow a technician to discover
where a device is attached to on a switch. A technician chooses a discovered
station from the station list and sees which switch port that station is
attached to. The switch name, description, address and port number are
displayed. This feature is also available under the Connectivity Tests as
Station Locator. A technician types in either a MAC address or an IP address and
the OneTouch Series II tester displays the switch port to which that particular
device is attached.
Remote Monitoring
Web Monitoring and Control Via a Web Browser
Imagine the time and money that you would save if you could ship a test tool
instead of a tech, to a remote site. Instructing a person at that site on how to
plug it in, you could monitor and identify problems at that site, via your web
browser. The OneTouch Series II Pro supports remote control in addition to the
basic Web monitoring available in the standard model.
NIC and Hub
Tests screen
The OneTouch Series II tests network components such as NIC cards and hub
ports. When the OneTouch Autotest is run, the OneTouch tests the hub port and
reports link pulse receive voltage level, signal polarity, receive signal pair,
capability of the hub port (10 or 100) and duplex status (half or full). The
OneTouch also makes sure that a packet can be transmitted past the hub port.
When the OneTouch tests a NIC card, it reports the link pulse receive voltage
level and MAC and network addresses of the NIC card.
Connectivity Testing
Cable and Fiber Tests screen
The OneTouch Series II features an internal wiremap termination so a
troubleshooter can quickly run a wiremap test on a suspect patch cable. The
OneTouch also provides a Cable Autotest that detects the determination and runs
an appropriate set of cable tests. The OneTouch Series II measures cable length
on open cable and can identify split pairs, opens, and shorts. By using the
optional Fiber Test Kit, a technician can also measure power and loss on a fiber
cable.
Moves, adds and changes
One hundred network users need to be moved over the weekend. Two technicians
are assigned to confirm that for each day, the move is done correctly. Using
their OneTouch Series II Network Assistants, they confirm each PC configuration
using the ConfigMaster feature. They run an Autotest to check the cable, hub,
and general connectivity. Finally, they run a Key Device Ping to check
connectivity to the local segment router, switches and printers. Monday morning
arrives and all users are up without any complications.
ConfigMaster
A touch of the ConfigMaster icon and the OneTouch Series II Pro users get
critical information to properly configure a device or workstation. Network
information includes DNS server name, IP address range, subnet mask, default
gateway, POP3 server, DNS, WINS server, frame type, and NetBIOS name. This handy
feature eliminates the trial-and-error method of workstation configuration.
One-button Autotest
Just one touch of the AutoTest icon displays the connectivity status of
desktop stations, TCP/IP devices, servers, and even devices past switches. For
example, pressing the NetWare server icon displays the nearest server for each
of the four Ethernet frame types (IEEE 802.2 and 802.3, Ethernet II, and SNAP).
For all discovered NetBIOS servers, the following are displayed: name, domain,
server type, protocols and MAC addresses. Pressing the station list icon
provides a list of discovered stations that can be sorted by device type,
utilization, protocol or name. Pressing the TCP/IP icon takes the user to the
TCP/IP discovery screen.
Key Device Ping
The OneTouch Series II allows a user to build a custom list of devices that
the OneTouch will ping. For example, a user could build a list of key devices on
a segment that a technician could ping after each move, add, or change. The
Series II allows the user to build up to five custom lists.
Monitor & Document
Now you can generate network performance reports using a OneTouch Series II
Network Assistant and the PC-based OneTouch Series II Reporter Software Package.
This intuitive report package collects data from the OneTouch
unit running on your local segment and then presents the information in
professionally formatted documents.
With a click of your mouse, you can
create reports or you can set time parameters to trend your network, from 20
minutes to 24 hours.
Generate the following reports with the OneTouch Series II Reporter Software:
- IP Inventory
- NetBIOS Inventory
- Top Talkers
- Protocol Mix
- Ethernet Collision Summary
- Ethernet Error Summary
- Ethernet Network Usage
Need more real time monitoring and documentation capabilities for your
switched Ethernet network? Network Inspector™ OneTouch Edition combines the
capabilities of the OneTouch Reporter package with Network Inspector's
unlimited-node, single site license, 1 console discovery and Switch Inspector™
option.
Performance Testing
Network Health Advice
Determining an acceptable collision or utilization level is not always
obvious from the network statistics, particularly for less experienced
troubleshooters.
The OneTouch Series II Network Advice feature interprets
critical Ethernet parameters - such as collisions, errors, and broadcasts - in
the context of traffic levels. With a single touch of the Network Advice icon,
users are empowered to interpret results that in the past required advanced
expertise. Network Health also displays top protocols, top senders, and
discovered stations.
Internetwork Throughput Option
Test IP Performance Across Enterprise Backbones, WANs and VPNs
The Internetwork Throughput Option (ITO) for the OneTouch™ Series
II Network Assistant enables IP Performance testing during the installation and
maintenance of Enterprise backbones, WANs, and VPNs.
With the OneTouch Series II ITO, you can:
- Measure IP throughput across a campus backbone
- Test IP Performance across a WAN and compare to an SLA
- Baseline congestion when installing a VPN
The IP Performance Test requires a OneTouch Series II Network Assistant to be
configured with an IP address at each end of the link under test. The link
may be wireless, routed, transparent or asymmetric (xDSL or cable modems) as
long as an Ethernet connection is available at both ends.
Results include IP throughput rate measured in bits per second, number of
frames received and number of frames lost. You can customize upstream and
downstream speed, duration of test, frame length and data pattern.
Unlike PC or workstation-based tools that rely on specific operating systems,
network adapter cards, software drivers or configurations, the OneTouch Series
II Network Assistant Internetwork Throughput Option provides independent,
repeatable results.
Single-Ended Testing
The Internetwork Throughput Option enables a
OneTouch Series II Network Assistant to perform valuable single-ended testing
including traffic generation on a local segment and sending IP and IP Ping
traffic to remote IP devices.
The applications include:
- Simulation of additional users on a segment by generating
Ethernet traffic
- Simulation of error conditions by generating short frames or
jabbers
- Identification of bottlenecks by successively pinging devices
along a suspect path
The OneTouch transmits Ethernet level traffic by transmitting unicast or
broadcast packets. It enables you to transmit IP traffic to a far-end IP device.
It will also allow you to transmit ICMP Echo Request packet or IP Ping traffic
to a far-end IP device.
