Monitoring Network Activity
Note
Monitoring network activity requires the DSP-LIA013 adapter.
The MONITOR mode on the rotary switch lets you monitor Ethernet traffic for
collisions, jabber, peak traffic, and percentage of network utilization. You can
monitor traffic on 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX twisted pair cabling.
This feature lets you identify active cabling and provides some information on
network activity. If you want to troubleshoot active networks, contact your Fluke
Networks representative for information on LAN diagnostic tools.
When connected to a network, the test tool automatically generates link pulses to
activate the hub. The test tool uses Auto-Negotiation when attempting to link to
monitor 10/100BASE-TX traffic. If a link state does not occur, the test tool
displays the warning message NO LINK PULSE.
To monitor network traffic on a twisted pair Ethernet network, refer to Figure 4-5
and proceed as follows:
