Hobbes LANsmart Pro - User Manual

LANsmart Pro user manual
Introduction
LANsmart Pro is a hand-held, multifunction Cable Map Tester and Cable Length
Meter. It has an integrated Analog and Digital Tone Generator, Port Finder, and Quick
Test. It displays cable map results in a pin-to-pin format including split pairs. By
using TDR (Time Domain Reflect) technology, it provides a great deal of accuracy
when measuring cable length and locating split pairs. It is suitable for professional
technicians or installers.
Features:
• All-in-one tester: wire map, twisted mapping, short location, quick test, cable
length test, self-calibrating ability, analog and digital tone generator and port
finder.
• Incorporates TDR (Time Domain Reflect) Technology
• Wire map for open, short, reversed, cross, split, miswire, and shield continuity
• Wire map results are displayed in a pin-to-pin format
• Indicates the remote number of the remote identification unit for wire map test
• Incorporate Short Location function: locate short position, it determines if
short is in the near or far end of the cable.
• Measures twisted pairs of Cat5, Cat5E and Cat6 length without remote
• Measures length of flat 2-pin, 4-pin and 6-pin telephone line
• Measures coax line length
• Self-calibrating ability for non-standard cables length test to enhance
measuring accuracy
• Uses both meter and feet standards for cable length display
• Incorporate Quick Test function: memorize a cable’s pin out as standard, and
test mass cables.
• Incorporates Port Finder function: locate corresponding socket on hub/switch
• Its Analog Tone Generator sends 1K Hz tone on all pins or selected single pin
conductors.
• Its Digital Tone Generator sends Single Tone and Double Tone.
• LCD and “beep” indicator
• RJ45/ RJ11/COAX port protection from telephone line damage
• Replaceable battery, with low battery indicator
