The LanMap 610 was created to greatly simplify the work of installers, technicians and administrators who support 10/100 Mbit Ethernet LANs. The 610 is affordable, easy-to-use and its unique set of features makes it a valuable addition to everyone’s tool kit. In addition to identifying LAN and Telco service on a cable or port, the 610 will display Ethernet link and traffic information and can act as a toner for cable identification.

The 610 supports link & traffic testing for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX networks as per the IEEE 802.3u standard. The LanMap will show the user exactly what capabilities are being advertised by a hub, switch or PC and will auto-negotiate and get link at the highest common capability. Finally, the unit will display network utilization and peak load as well as link and frame errors.

The LanMap will try to establish link with any Ethernet hub, switch or NIC card. The 610 supports 10 Mbit, 100 Mbit and auto-negotiation. If a link partner is detected, the tester will display information about the speed and duplex status of the link, then will show you what capabilities the other device is advertising and will finally display the traffic load in the form of a bar graph. A special cursor will indicate the peak utilization and will then be cleared whenever the link is lost.
