Using the Tone Generator
The tone generator on the tester and smart remote
produces a distinct signal for locating cables and jacks with
a tone probe such as a Fluke Networks IntelliTone

probe.
The tone probe converts the toner’s signal to audible tones
that get louder as you get closer to the cable or jack
transmitting the signal.
The tone generator also activates a sleeping or powered-
down tester or smart remote connected to the other end of
the cabling.
Note
The tone generator does not generate the
IntelliTone signal.

remote.
