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
â„¢
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.
To use the tone generator:
1
Attach a twisted pair adapter to the tester or smart
remote.
