Learn about common industrial network problems and cabling issues that impede system performance. Pre-test networks prior to commissioning to reduce delays during start-ups, and decrease production downtime. Troubleshoot active networks when there are problems. Have a tool to scope network projects and leave an “as built” report to prove condition at commissioning or service.• Ethernet copper cable testing – Quickly determine cable integrity and identify fault location for repair• Qualify cable data rate – Perform a bit error rate test (BERT) to determine if interference or poor cable quality will cause network outages• Detect IP devices and report duplicate addresses• Test network latency• Report Ethernet Switch configuration• Detect PoE standard and test under load• Test Fiber Optic links – determine quickly if fiber links have issues (dirty/damaged fiber connectors, SFP problems)• Locate Fiber Optic cable breaks using OTDR technology• Using VNC to assist end customers remotelyPresenters: Jim Ralston & Tom Jallo – Softing Inc.#Webinar
