EtherScope nXG from NetAlly
£7,854.00 – £10,068.00 (inc VAT)
EtherScope nXG is the latest product release from the team that were originally part of Fluke Networks, then Netscout and now operate as a new company branded NetAlly.
Designed to help network engineers verify, discover and troubleshoot both wired and wireless networks up to 10G, the product supports NBASE-T, 10G and 802.11ax. Plus, new features for troubleshooting wireless include WiFi survey and performance tests!
For the very first time, data gathered from the wired and wireless networks is displayed simultaneously, allowing you to see the full picture irrelevant of how the user connects!
And like the LinkRunner G2, the EtherScope nXG is based on an Android platform, combining the advantages of a powerful network tester with the convenience of a smart device interface and third party Apps.
AutoTest profiles simplify verification of network health, configuration and services. Whilst in the background the discovery and advanced feature set enable assessment and documentation of complex network deployments with multiple VLANs and Wi-Fi SSIDs.
OneTouch or OptiView users will recognise valuable network tests such as path analysis, 10G link performance, iPerf test, 24-hour back-in-time traffic analysis, cable test and packet capture. The auto upload to Link-Live (the free online cloud portal) provides shared access to collate results from multiple testers, for remote analysis of the data, documentation and reporting.
22 April 2020 Version 1.2 – includes new features such as AirMapper Survey for taking WiFi measurements to create heat maps – read the V1.2 PDF below to learn all about it!
When purchasing the EtherScope nXG, you can choose either the standard unit or the KIT; the additional accessories in the KIT are a holster, SFP+MR-10G1310, an iPerf Test Accessory, WireView wire mappers #2-#6, External Directional Antenna, Fluke Networks IntelliTone 200 Probe and a slightly larger softcase (see photos). We also offer training on the EtherScope, to ensure everyone gets the most out of it.

Key Features
Wi-Fi feature set:
– 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (wave 2) Wi-Fi network connectivity
– 802.11ax (or Wi-Fi 6) network visibility
– Analysis of SSIDs, BSSIDs, channel, client devices, and interference sources
– AirMapper Survey: Quickly and easily gather location-based Wi-Fi measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in the Link-Live Cloud Service.
Ethernet wired support:
– 10/100/1000Mbps to 2.5/5/10G
– Verifies loaded power from 90W PoE switch
Additional connectivity:
Built-in Bluetooth v5/BLE and USB interfaces to discover and configure nearby device
10G copper/fibre wired and Wi-Fi performance tests
Stress critical network links, such as switch ports to servers/storage/Wi-Fi access points, uplinks or WAN links, with up to four simultaneous data streams at up to 10G line-rate (requires suitable reflector device). Or use iPerf v3 network test algorithm to test against the NetAlly Test Accessory.
Audit and document
Auto discovers the network immediately upon power-up, providing quick security and health audits of network devices across multiple VLANs and all Wi-Fi channels. Devices are classified and correlated to provide complete visibility of their name, network addresses, VLAN, SSID, device type, and where available, traffic statistics. Upload data to Link-Live for storage or converted to CSV/PDF files as documentation. Discovery results from the wired and Wi-Fi networks are correlated to show the name and IP address of Wi-Fi devices connected to the network.
AutoTest
Out-of-the-box AutoTest profiles for pass/fail of network configurations and services. Multiple profiles can be created for complex networks with multiple VLANs supported per switch port, and Wi-Fi networks with multiple SSIDs each with its own set of IP targets.
Path Analysis
Shows the switch/router path connecting the EtherScope nXG to an IP device on across wired and Wi-Fi networks, or beyond, for example to a cloud location or data centre across the Internet. Including analysis of devices along the path: view configuration, interface traffic statistics, launch Telnet or browser, conduct port scan, ping and more.
Packet Capture
From both the Wi-Fi and Ethernet test interfaces. Capture up to 10G line-rate to create a PCAP file of up to 1Gigabyte. Packet slicing and filtering are supported. PAP files can be uploaded to the Link-Live Cloud Service for easy sharing.
24-Hour Monitoring for Intermittent Issues – Periodic AutoTest
In this mode, AutoTest runs at specified intervals (from 1 minute to 24 hours) and sends the results to Link-Live to view the results over time - this is an effective way to “monitor” aspects of your network for an extended period, or to help diagnose intermittent issues without having to manually execute multiple tests.
Cable Test
Tests for length, shorts, and split pairs and locate opens on UTP cable. Wiremap of UTP and ScTP cable using the WireView adapter. Analogue or digital tone generation for use with a Fluke Networks IntelliTone Probe for quick cable tracing.
Android Apps
Download apps from the Link-Live app store to accomplish many tasks in addition to testing.
Automated Test Results Management
Complimentary access to the Link-Live cloud portal for quick and easy auto upload, document and reporting for test activity from any NetAlly LinkSprinter, LinkRunner AT/G2, AirCheck G2, OneTouch AT G2 and EtherScope nXG network testers.
