Using the Toner
You can use the tester with an optional tone probe to
locate cables in bundles, at patch panels, or behind walls.
Use the tester’s IntelliTone
™
mode with an optional Fluke
Networks IP100 or IP200 tone probe. The digital IntelliTone
signal is easier to detect at a distance than analog tones,
and its frequency and encoding eliminate cable
misidentification due to signal bleed and radiated or
ambient noise.
The tester has two IntelliTone songs and four analog songs.
The tester’s analog tone mode is compatible with most tone
probes.
The analog tone mode features the SmartTone
™
function
for positive identification of cables in bundles (page 50).
