NetAlly LinkRunner 1500: First Look & Live Test (980)

In this episode, I crack open NetAlly’s brand‑new LinkRunner AT1500 and walk through a live, real‑world test of this entry‑level copper network link and cable tester. We look at one‑tap cable tests, PoE validation up to 90W, switch and VLAN discovery, and how it ties into Link‑Live to document your work for clients and MSP teams. If you’re an IT pro or MSP owner building out your troubleshooting go‑bag, this gives you a practical look at what the AT1500 can (and can’t) do. Why listen See the LinkRunner AT1500 run a one‑tap cable test on a live network, including length and pair mapping Learn how it validates PoE power, multi‑gig link speed up to 10G, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, and gateway connectivity in seconds Hear how Link‑Live reporting can help your MSP standardize documentation and share test results with clients and techs Get my candid take on where the AT1500 fits versus NetAlly’s EtherScope, CyberScope, and LinkRunner 3000/4000 Understand the tradeoffs: copper‑only, no built‑in Wi‑Fi or fiber, but a lower price point for frontline technicians Links from the Show Order from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PCiUzp  LinkRunner 1500/3000: https://linkly.link/2eOfT === SPONSORS:  Livestream Partner, ThreatLocker: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/threatlocker Technology Partner, NetAlly: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/netally/ Technology Partner: Bvoip: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/bvoip Travel Partner: TruGrid: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/trugrid Digital Partner, Designer Ready: http://itbusinesspodcast.com/designerready === SHOW MUSIC:
