Fluke Networks LinkIQ Duo Network Tester

Testing to Wi-Fi 6E (LinkIQ Duo)

The LinkIQ Duo tester makes it easy to understand the Wi-Fi environment by running a complete suite of tests and displaying the results the way you want to view them: by networks, channels, or access points. Choosing a specific item (such as an access point listed under a specific network) changes seamlessly to that view. The LinkIQ Duo tester also flags common configuration errors including: use of an illegal channel for the detected region use of a non-recommended channel access points that overlap with an adjacent access point unless one is low power weak security settings The Networks test displays a list of available networks (SSIDs) by name along with encryption, technology supported, and the number of access points in range supporting each network. Tap a network to view a detailed list of all radios in range that support the network including BSSID and band/channel. The LinkIQ Duotester can test a specific network / access point combination by tracking signal strength and data rates over time. Details about a specific access point can be accessed from here as well.

LinkIQ enables you to:

• Find maximum cabling speed (Up to 10 Gb/s).
• Install and troubleshoot PoE devices via Switch Negotiation and PoE Load Test. Ethernet Alliance PoE Certified for reliable multi-vendor interoperability.
• Discover connected switch information (Switch Name, IP address, Port Number, MAC Address, and VLAN)
• Test connectivity to TCP/IP network through IP configuration and ping
• Verify Gateway and DNS server responsiveness and availability
• Document your work through LinkWare™ PC

 
The LinkIQ is capable of measuring lengths up to 1000 feet (305 m) and provides distance to faults such as opens, shorts, and unterminated cable. Using the remote ID allows for a complete wire map of the cable pairs which helps identify miswired and split pairs. The primary cable testing feature of LinkIQ is the cable performance test which qualifies the cabling bandwidth from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T (10 Mb/s up to 10 Gb/s). It performs these tests via frequency-based measurements. Using IEEE-standards-based measurements ensures that tested links meet performance requirements as opposed to transmission testers which only prove that the specific test devices can communicate over the link. Operators may set performance requirements from 10 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s for a simple pass/fail indication.

In-Depth PoE Testing

While Power over Ethernet makes installation of devices such as security cameras and access points simpler, a survey by the Ethernet Alliance of over 800 installers, integrators and end users found that four of five respondents experienced difficulties in integrating PoE systems. Part of this can be traced to the fact that the IEEE offers three PoE standards, the term “PoE” is not registered and there are a variety of non-standards-compliant implementations as well.
