The new  NaviTEK NT is a network tester for troubleshooting and maintenance of active and passive copper and fibre networks. Incorporating an improved graphical interface NaviTEK NT allows network technicians to pinpoint and solve network connectivity issues faster than ever before. Subsequently, tests can be saved as PDF or CSV reports and shared with colleagues using the free TREND AnyWare™   app.

Today, network technicians have a broad selection of software troubleshooting tools at their disposal and whilst useful in certain situations and environments they do have limitations.

NaviTEK NT on the other hand offers a comprehensive suite of test and troubleshooting functionality only found on dedicated hand-held testers:-

Questions & Answers

Q: Which tester should I use if I require PING test with VLAN?

A: NaviTEK NT Plus or Pro

Q: Why does the NaviTEK NT not always detect my 2 meter long patch cable?

A: NaviTEK NT cable detection range is from 3m and above. Any shorter than 3m will not be detected persistently

Q: What software does NaviTEK NT require to generate PDF reports?

A: No software is required. PDF reports are generated from the tester

Q: Can NaviTEK II Plus & Pro be upgraded to NaviTEK NT Plus & Pro including PDF report generation and wireless report transfer?

A: Yes. By downloading the latest software from www.idealnetworks.net and purchasing the approved Wi-Fi adapter Edimax EW-7811Un. Please note the software upgrade will delete all jobs from the tester

Q: Does NaviTEK NT require a factory calibration?

A: No: the indications of optical power, voltage, length etc. are for troubleshooting only and do not need calibration

Q: Can NaviTEK NT Pro measure fibre attenuation?

A: No: The optical power indication is only for troubleshooting purposes. It is not a calibrated measurement with a calibrated source. Accurate attenuation measurement is not possible. A power meter and light source such as TREND’s FiberMASTER would be required

Q: Can I use other vendors’ SFP modules instead of TREND Networks?

A: Use of other vendors’ SFPs may be possible but is not guaranteed for correct operation, including optical power indication

Q: Can all Active Remotes be used with NaviTEK NT?

A: Yes. Active remotes No.2~ No.12 (part no. 150050) can be used for advanced wiremapping. However VDVII’s Active Remote CAN NOT be used with NaviTEK NT

Q: Why does NaviTEK NT feature user-exchangeable RJ45 ports?

A: Repetitive use wears the gold plating on all RJ45 contacts and this is accelerated when testing with PoE because of the electrical arcing. In addition the contacts are often bent and damaged when users insert RJ11/12 plugs or RJ45 plugs that are not completely crimped

Q: Are the reports supported by TREND Data Centre?

A: Not currently

Q: Why can’t I use a laptop PC instead of a NaviTEK NT?

A: Today, network technicians have a broad selection of software troubleshooting tools at their disposal and whilst useful in certain situations and environments they do have limitations. NaviTEK NT on the other hand offers a comprehensive suite of test and troubleshooting functionality only found on dedicated hand-held testers:
