The new LanScaper Network Tester is the first in a new line of Physical Layer Network Management Devices. The LanScapertm combines the functions of a high-end cable tester and length measurement device with the capability to monitor and correct network problems connected with the physical layer and link conditions of the network.
LanScaper identifies port services like Ethernet, ISDN, POTS and Token-Ring while reporting such crucial information as network speed, capability and location of switches and other network devices. LanScaper's Pinging function verifies connectivity to network devices and queries PC/NIC's.
LanScaper's unique functions include the ability to detect "Phantom Power" per IEEE 802.3a specifications, to report current and voltage capability of analog telephone lines, and to identify (map) remotes while cable testing.
