Introduction
NaviTEK NT is a network tester for troubleshooting and maintenance of active and passive
copper and fiber networks. It performs a range of tests to determine as much information as
possible about the network and port to which it is connected.
The principle of operation of NaviTEK NT is that it automatically configures itself to match the
characteristics of the connected port, whether it is an un-terminated cable, a live copper
switch port or a live fiber switch port, and runs tests appropriate to that configuration. These
tests are designed to give information about the port, such as the switch MAC address and
identification, as well as to confirm that the port has been properly configured and is capable
of reaching a number of strategic targets in the local network and the Internet. The user may
customize the tests if required.
Because the suite of tests runs and saves the results automatically, it is a simple task for the
user to move from port to port, fully testing and saving the results from each one. All that is
required is to plug the tester into the port socket and press the Autotest button.
Once all of the required network ports have been tested, the saved reports can be uploaded
either using a USB memory key to a PC or via Wi-Fi to a Smartphone, for transfer to client
databases or to colleagues for further analysis.
This manual describes NaviTEK NT Pro, and all references to "NaviTEK NT" shall be taken to
mean NaviTEK NT Pro. NaviTEK NT Pro includes provision for testing optical fiber networks as
well as copper-based Ethernet networks, and 802.1x security log-in.
N
aviTEK NT Plus includes provision for testing copper-based Ethernet networks only and no
802.1x support.
The basic version of NaviTEK NT is described in a separate user manual.

Safety Information
When using NaviTEK NT, always take basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons. These include the following:
• When connecting to the port, special care must be taken as high voltages may be
present and there may be a danger of electrocution.
• Avoid using the tester during an electrical storm - there is a remote risk of electric
shock by lightning.
• Use only the mains electricity adaptor supplied with your NaviTEK NT.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY TELECOMMUNICATIO
NS NETWORK
TO ANY OF THE TESTER’S PORTS
Power and Maintenance
NaviTEK NT can be powered from:
• A rechargeable power module,
• Directly from power connected to the DC inlet built in to the power module.
• An optional non-rechargeable battery pack
Power Module Management
The power module must be fully charged
before you use it for the first time
A fully charged power module will support up to five hours of heavy, continuous use. For
maximum life of the power module it is recommended to discharge it fully and then recharge
it fully at least once a month. The power module is not user-serviceable. When it has reached
the end of its life, please contact your local IDEAL representative for service.
Power Module Recharging
The power module can be fully recharged in three hours with the NaviTEK NT switched ON or
OFF. To recharge the power module, connect the supplied power adaptor to the DC inlet.
For convenience the power module may be removed from, or left attached to, the unit for
charging. The Power LED next to the DC inlet glows green to show that the battery is being
charged, and flashes green to show that it is not being charged. The power module charge
state is indicated at FULL, 2/3, 1/3 and EMPTY by the graphical power meter shown in the
display’s information bar at the top of its LCD display.
Switching ON and OFF
To switch ON the tester, press the ON/OFF button. A splash screen showing the IDEAL logo
and model identity is shown on the display. The home screen is then shown on the display and
NaviTEK NT automatically searches for a network to test.
To switch OFF, press and hold the Power button for approximately 1/2 second, a shutdown
message is displayed on the screen. The currently stored setup is saved. If the unit does not
switch OFF within five seconds of pressing the Power button, please see Master Reset.
Always switch OFF the unit before removing the power module.
Caution
Do NOT remove the power module when the tester is switched on.

User Guide Page 5
Power Saving
Power saving preferences are selected from SETUP / SYSTEM / PREF. Auto Off can be
Disabled (unit remains ON indefinitely), or set to switch the unit OFF after three, 10 or 30
minutes of inactivity. The backlight can be set to Always On, or to dim to 50% brightness
after three minutes of inactivity. Note that when mains power is connected the display is
always on full brightness and the unit remains ON indefinitely.
Master Reset
In the unlikely event of a system lock-up which prevents the unit from being switched OFF, it
may be necessary to perform a master reset. This will not delete any stored data.
1. Remove the power module to access a small aperture in the NaviTEK NT.
2. Insert a paper clip into the reset hole and press the internal reset switch.
3. Replace the power module.
Replaceable insert – RJ-45 socket
To replace a damaged or worn RJ-45 socket insert proceed as follows:
Equipment required: Kit, IDEAL part number 150058 – includes Tool x1 and Replacement
Insert x10.
1. Switch the NaviTEK NT off.
2. Remove cables.
3. Carefully push the tool STRAIGHT into the socket. BE CAREFUL - DO NOT MOVE
THE TOOL VERTICALLY!
4. Keeping the tool STRAIGHT firmly pull the insert out from the socket.
5. Using fingers replace a new insert STRAIGHT into the socket and secure in place
by firmly pushing

Port Discovery information details
When an Ethernet link is established, Autotest automatically scans the partner port for Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Extreme Discovery
Protocol (EDP) messages when the switch is able to send discovery messages. These
messages may contain various details about the switch and the port connected, depending on
how they are configured. Select the switch / port details field in the HOME screen and press
