LinkRunner G2 Smart Network Tester
The World’s First Android-based Smart Network Tester for the Connected World
LinkRunner G2 is a simple, comprehensive network validation and configuration platform that empowers network professionals responsible for device deployment and troubleshooting. LinkRunner streamlines workflows by combining the essential aspects of installation and triage in a single, ruggedized unit.
LinkRunner G2 accelerates deployments and eliminates finger pointing by combining high-wattage PoE and copper and fiber network connectivity testing with vendor apps on the Android OS. This creates a more effective installation and troubleshooting workflow: with LinkRunner G2 technicians can review installation documentation, test loaded PoE and network services, document the results, and use other vendor-specific apps to configure and triage connected devices.
Test results can be automatically uploaded to the encrypted and highly secure Link-Live results management database at the completion of each test, facilitating more collaboration between network engineers and technicians greater job visibility, project control, and fleet management.
For organizations challenged by the rapid growth of network-connected devices, this next-generation test tool enables IT professionals to accelerate deployments and speed problem identification, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of network operations.

LinkRunner G2 Key Features
|
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Ready - plug in the optional Edimax* N150 2-in-1 Wi Fi and Bluetooth Nano USB Adapter to further expand the capability of your LinkRunner G2. Wi-Fi - View and configure IoT devices, connect and communicate over Wi Fi Edimax - 11n Wi-Fi Speed up to 150 Mbps. Complies with wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards for Wi-Fi data transmission rates up to 150 Mbps when connected to an 802.11n device. Wi-Fi Security: Supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2 encryption. Bluetooth - View, connect and configure Bluetooth devices and sensors (1) Edimax - Bluetooth 4.0 & Bluetooth 3.0+HS (High Speed) up to 24 Mbps and fully backwards compatible with Bluetooth 3.0+HS and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR for wireless communication with almost all Bluetooth-enabled devices. * Edimax N-150 2-in-1 Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 4.0 Nano USB Adapter is sold separately and is certified regionally. (2) US-WIFI-BT-USB: Edimax n150 Wi-Fi & Bluetooth USB Adapter for US and Canada. Channels 1-11. (3) EU-WIFI-BT-USB: Edimax n150 Wi-Fi & Bluetooth USB Adapter for Europe. Channels 1-13. |
10/100/1000BASE-T over Copper and 10/1000BASE-X over Fiber - use AutoTest to run a full network connectivity test or choose Switch test to quickly see nearest switch and switch details over either media type. *Fiber SFP not included, sold separately. Link Speed/Duplex - verify link speed and duplex is configured as expected. If 1000BASE-T test is enabled and the link under test is not performing as expected, a yellow warning indication will be noted and the actual speed emphasized. 802.1X authentication - verify access to secure networks using 802.1X and MAC Access Control Lists (ACL). The included LinkRunner G2 Manager software configures 802.1X EAP type, downloads certificates and enters passwords. IPv4/IPv6 ready - supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. IP Address Validation - a key element to ensure network services are available for IoT connected devices is to verify they are able to obtain an IP address and access the network. Both DHCP and static IP configurations are supported; when using DHCP, the handshake timing and lease time is shown. Key device and application availability -in addition to ping, which is sometimes blocked or disabled, the LinkRunner G2 can perform a TCP port open test to verify application connectivity to up to 10 user-defined targets using IPv4 and IPv6. Router, DNS and DHCP servers are reported. LinkRunner G2 provides the ability to perform a continuous ping, providing a quick and simple way to find intermittent connectivity issues. |
Packet Reflector - The LinkRunner G2 packet reflector mode allows it to be used as a remote device during end-to-end network path performance tests to validate LAN and WAN throughput capabilities up to 1000BASE-T. The reflector mode can be configured to swap MAC and/or IP addresses. LinkRunner G2 supports packet reflection for: (1) OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet (2) OneTouch AT Network Assistant |
Benefits of Android OS
Eliminate Security Risk of Using Personal Devices
Many technicians today use their personal mobile device on the job to access vendor apps, check trouble tickets, look up technical documents, calculate IP address ranges, configure network equipment, and more. However, the use of a personal device for job-related tasks could be considered a security risk. In addition, it may have only limited access to network infrastructure information (if connected to a guest VLAN, for example).
But the mobile device has no ability to validate wired Ethernet infrastructure – it cannot test PoE, cabling, link negotiation or network services. While it features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, many networked end-point devices do not support these connection methods. So multiple tools are needed.
Workflow Efficiency Gains
Imagine how much time it would save to have a single device that could:
(1) Receive a trouble ticket
(2) View .pdf documents
(3) Verify network services via AutoTest
(4) Automatically document test results
(5) Do all things Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that you can do with your personal mobile device with the optional Edimax2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth USB Adapter
(6) On-board camera to document installed devices, scan QR/barcodes, etc.
(7) Configure any IoT device that supports an Android app or web connection via Chrome browser
(8) Use Android apps to do things like:
A. Configure an IoT device (security camera, AP, lighting, HVAC)
B. Telnet into a switch
C. Run a speed test
D. Access an IP calculator
E. View info provided by a Bluetooth-supported sensor
F. Plug in a USB printer and along with the companion Android app, print labels
G. Get help – start a webex, invite others and share your screen enabling quick assistance without unnecessary downtime
