• Automate reporting and enable collaboration with test result upload and management via Link-Live™ Cloud Service

Overview

The LinkRunner G2 simplifies network validation and configuration of copper and fiber Ethernet networks, streamlining workflows by combining essential functions of installation and triage in a single, ruggedized unit. Accelerate deployments, speed problem identification, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of network operations with this next-generation Android-based tester. The LinkRunner G2 features an intuitive design that runs Android-based apps with smartphone-like features.


Packet Reflector

The LinkRunner G2 features a packet reflector mode that allows the device to
be used as a remote endpoint during end-to-end network path performance
tests to validate LAN and WAN throughput capabilities up to 1Gbps.
LinkRunner G2 supports packet reflection for:
• OptiView® XG Network Analysis Tablet
• OneTouch™ AT Network Assistant

Smart Tester that runs Android APPs

The LinkRunner G2 is the first network tester that features smartphone-like
qualities, such as a 5” touch screen with built-in camera, flashlight, and running
the Android OS. Many job-related Android apps can be downloaded to the unit,
eliminating the need to use a separate personal tablet or smartphone for the
task. With the optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth function, and dedicated copper and
fiber Ethernet interfaces, LinkRunner G2 can communicate directly with many
end-devices for configuration. Because the apps that can be pre-loaded onto the
LinkRunner G2 can be controlled, it poses less of a security risk than a personal
smart phone.

Example of a typical workflow with LinkRunner G2:
1. Receive a trouble ticket
2. View PDFs or other documents that are needed for the job
3. Verify PoE and network connectivity via AutoTest
4. Automatically document test results on unit or to the Link-Live Cloud service
5. On-board camera to document installed devices, scan QR/barcodes, etc.
6. Configure any device that supports an Android app or the Chrome browser
a. Configure an IoT device (security camera, AP, digital lighting controller, HVAC)
b. Telnet into a switch
c. Run a Speed test to the Internet
