LinkSprinter 200 by Fluke Networks

Being an Information Technology guy and a Technology Director for my school district, I spend a lot of time frequenting pages like Macworld.com and Networkworld.com. I usually am looking for ways to better implement technology in our school as well as finding quality tools to use at work.

Last week, I stumbled across a Twitter post from the group LinkSprinter (@LinkSprinter). Well on Tuesday I received a Tweet from them saying I had been chosen as a lucky giveaway winner of their LinkSprinter 200, a network tester. I corresponded with them through direct messages and was informed they would be shipping the network tester to the school.

Fast forward to Thursday. Just before lunch, a package arrived for me at school. I opened it up and there to my surprise, was my new network tester! My LinkSprinter 200 had arrived and QUICKLY at that! I opened up the package and found a personal handwritten from Team LinkSprinter reading:

"Garrett - Congrats on winning your LinkSprinter 200! Once you've gotten to use the device for your newest networking project, let us know and we can set up a call to do a blog post on it. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Hope you enjoy & happy testing!"

Thanks,
Team LinkSprinter

Here is an attached picture of the LinkSprinter 200!

I followed the directions and activated my LinkSprinter 200. Once it was activated, I activated its wireless signal and connected it to my iPad. I ran several tests just to experiment with the new LinkSprinter 200. Here are the five things the LinkSprinter 200 tests for:

Once the LinkSprinter 200 was activated, here is the activation screen showing the activation of the tester. The model and serial number, as well as where reports are sent when cables are tested on the network.

When a network cable is tested, the tool automatically sends a report to your email or wherever you'd like it sent. Here is where mine are sent to my work email.

Lastly, here is the email with results of network cable tests as they show up in the detailed email reports.

I'd like to thank Fluke Networks as well as LinkSprinter for this new and valuable network testing tool. This will come in so handy for my next network project here at work! Thank you again!!!
