IDEAL Industries Networks has begun shipping its NaviTEK II technician tool. The NaviTEK II provides channel pros with advanced capabilities for active and passive network testing across both copper and fiber networks.
NaviTEK II is designed as an affordable, handheld network and cable verifier tester for use in troubleshooting LAN physical and network layers. It provides support for IPv6, 802.1X, Netscan, and VLANs. It also features an advanced color LCD screen to view pin-by-pin wiremap.
The NaviTEK sports the ability to test both cabling and network performance using the same RJ45 interface, eliminating the need to disconnect the cable from the unit to switch between cable and network tests. Both IPv6 and IPv4 are supported, either address formats can be acquired using DHCP or assigned statically. Ping and Traceroute are also supported as well as Netscan that auto-discovers IPv6 and IPv4 network nodes.
The NaviTEK II can store up to 250 tests in five unique job folders. This large storage memory and job folder system helps organize results from multiple jobs without having to offload the information onto a hard drive. Five-way navigation buttons and icons are designed to make user navigation easy.
The NaviTEK II is available through all major channel distributors. A list of NaviTEK-selling distributors is available online.
