Netscout Test Accessory
The Test Accessory works together with other NETSCOUT Handheld Network Testers to run network performance and availability tests.
This User Guide covers the basics of connecting and configuring your Test Accessory. See the user documentation for your main testing tool for information on running specific tests and viewing results.
How The Test Accessory Works:
The Test Accessory acts as the endpoint for a test run by a NETSCOUT handheld network tester.
Powering On
The Test Accessory operates with either Power over Ethernet (PoE) or the following AA battery types: Alkaline (shipped with product), Rechargeable NiMH, or Lithium
- Insert two AA batteries into the back of your Test Accessory.
- Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable connected to an active network with access to the Internet.
- If PoE is available on your network connection, the unit starts up automatically.
If you are using batteries only, press and hold the power button for two seconds to turn on the unit.
As soon as you power on the Test Accessory, all of the LED symbols illuminate yellow for 15 seconds while the unit starts up.
Then, the accessory attempts to connect to your network, lighting up each LED with the corresponding connection step.
NOTE: Once you connect to the cloud, the Test Accessory may automatically update with the latest software. See the Software Update LED Sequence below for more information.
Connection Sequence and LED Symbols (Connection status is indicated by the behavior of the LED symbols on the Test Accessory.)
Linke-Live Cloud:
- Flashing GREEN: Able to connect to Link-Live
- Single YELLOW Flash: Broadcasting presence on network
Gateway:
- Flashing GREEN: Pinging gateway
- Solid GREEN: Ping successful
- RED: Gateway ping failed
DHCP/IP:
- Flashing GREEN: Requesting IP
- Solid GREEN: IP address assigned
- YELLOW: Duplicate IP assigned
- RED: Address assignment failed
Link:
- Flashing GREEN: Trying to link
- Solid GREEN: Linked
PoE or Battery Status:
- GREEN: PoE power
- YELLOW: Battery power
- RED: Batteries low
Link-Live Cloud Service:
Link-Live Cloud Service is a free, online system for viewing, tracking, and organizing your test results.
Claim the Test Accessory to aid in discovery from your main testing device and to download software updates.
NOTE: To view detailed test results, you must also claim your main NETSCOUT testing device to LinkLive and configure the settings to upload. See the user documentation for your main handheld tester for more information.
Detailed LED Behavior
Connection LED Sequence:
- If the unit is running on PoE, the Power light (lightning bolt) illuminates GREEN. If it is running on batteries, the Power light stays YELLOW. If the batteries need replacing, the Power light turns RED.
- The Link status light (chain link) flashes GREEN until a link is established and then stays solid GREEN.
- The unit requests an IP Address and the DHCP light flashes GREEN. If a usable IP address is acquired, the DHCP light turns solid GREEN. If the unit acquires a duplicate IP address, the DHCP light turns YELLOW, and if no IP address can be acquired, it turns RED.
- The Test Accessory Connecting communicates with the default gateway router. The Gateway status light flashes GREEN until it connects with the gateway; if successful, it turns solid GREEN. If the Test Accessory cannot reach the gateway, the light turns solid RED.
- The Test Accessory attempts to communicate with the Link-Live Cloud Service, and the cloud light flashes GREEN to indicate internet connectivity.
Your Test Accessory may automatically update if there is a newer software version available.
NOTE: Do not turn off or try to claim your Test Accessory to Link-Live during the update process or the update may fail.
Software Update LED Sequence:
- First, all five lights flash YELLOW.
- Next, starting with the PoE lightning bolt at the bottom of the unit, each status light begins to flash YELLOW in sequential order up to the Cloud status light, until all five are flashing YELLOW again for several seconds
- Then, the unit reboots; starting with the Cloud status light, each light flashes GREEN sequentially down to the PoE status light.
- Finally, the Test Accessory reconnects, beginning with the PoE status light. Each light blinks GREEN while connecting
Powering Off the Unit:
To turn off the unit, hold the power button for two seconds until the LEDs begin flashing sequentially downward, and then release the button.
After the LEDs stop flashing, the Power/PoE symbol remains on for about 15 seconds until shutdown completes.
