Description The new NT-950 Validator™ Network / Cabling
Certifier measures and presents fast and clear SPEED and PERFORMANCE
results up to 1 gigabit. Speed certification assures the cabling will do
the job it is rated to do. Network components such as switches, hubs,
routers and systems will then operate at maximum efficiency.
The included powerful Plan-Um™ software ties together all the different
cable criteria that are found in complex voice/data/video installations
and presents concise information in printed reports, while storing data
for future use. Simply layout your customer's requirements in a matter of
minutes, then define cable types and runs. Test/certify each cable run.
Print the results and attach them to your invoice.
Completing and billing a cable installation job has never been
easier.

Layout
The Plan-Um software that is included with the Validator
LAN Certifier allows an installer or integrator to sit with
a client, create a layout or floor-plan of their home or
offices, drop in icons showing network, telephone, cable,
audio, or security outlets, run cables between ports and
patch panels and create a full job listing that can then be
printed out and given to the customer for approval and
estimation.
- Create custom floor plans
- Show specific ports: network, telephone, cable
- Indicate cable runs
- Print or e-mail layout for approval
- Save layouts for future jobs
- Automatically creates cable test schedule

Certify
The Validator LAN Certifier Kit will certify network
cable runs up to Gigabit speeds as per IEEE 802.3, test for
physical problems in network, cable, telephone, audio, and
security/alarm wiring, find Opens and Shorts with TDR
technology, and create reports to outline what the customer
has asked for and the results of the installation.
- Clear test results
- Test telephone, coax, security/alarm cables for continuity, proper
termination and polarity
- Measure cable length and distances to opens and shorts using advanced
TDR technology
- Skew and signal/noise ratio results shown on faulty cables
- Test interconnect specifications per TIA 568/570, including opens,
shorts, miswires, split pairs, etc.
- Wiremap individual runs to locate and identify cable routes
- Test/certify network cables to 1 gigabit per IEEE 802.3 speed
criteria. Typical measurements include NEXT, signal/noise ratios,
attenuation, return loss and bit error rates to determine cable carrying
capability

Document
The result is an End of Job Report that has complete
customer information, the installer information, test
results against the floor plan, and a place for an
installers signature indicating the job is done.
- List cable runs against a defined job
- Each cable run is displayed for cross-checking
- Verify all tests are done against the plan
- Cable List shows run starting points and end points
- Pass/fail
- Print end of Job Report for billing purposes

Archive
The documentation software not only allows the installer
to do the job better, but it archives the job so that future
adds, changes, and moves can be addressed easier and more
efficiently.
- Store finished jobs for reference in doing future adds, moves or changes
- Store data on either a laptop/PC or in flash card memory up to 2 GB. Thousands of jobs can be saved!
- Use archived info when upgrading or changing previously installed systems
