Introduction

SignalTEK NT comprises two hand-held units and a set of standard accessories all held in a

semi-rigid case.

Fig 1 SignalTEK NT components

The Near-End unit is the terminal from where all tests are run and stored. The Remote Unit is

a loopback terminal that enables performance testing. The Near-End Unit and Remote Unit

are paired. When they are both connected to the same network, the Near-End Unit will find

the Remote Unit that it is uniquely paired with, and not any other SignalTEK NT Remote Unit

that may be connected to the same network.

The Near-End unit may be used as a stand-alone device for wiremap testing copper network

cables. When both units are directly connected by a cable, wiremap and cable performance

tests can be run. When the Near-End Unit is connected to a network, it can be used to carry

out a range of IP tests. When both the Near-End and Remote Unit are connected to an active

network, both IP tests and network performance tests are possible.
