CTK-LNTRK LAN Tracker  
Overview:  
Addlogix’s CTK-LNTRK Tracker is a 3-in-1  
tester that includes the functions of 1)  
network tester, 2) tone generator, and 3)  
pin-by-pin cable tester.  
PH-120 LAN Tracker is a portable  
easy-to-operate tester that combines the  
functions of tone generator and network  
activity detector that can flash network  
hub’s, switches, and NIC’s port to indicate  
the network port. It also performs  
loo-back or remote validation of network,  
data, voice, and coaxial cables by  
displaying the test result on its LED display. The display shows pin-by-pin configuration  
that can move forward or backwards in both automatic and manual fashion.  
Other functions include validating the integrity of a cable’s shielding, and it can ‘trace’ a  
cable through its tone generator function and its ability to turn on network port’s activity on  
Hubs and NICs. Its line tester tests for line polarity and detects whether an AC or DC  
voltage is present on the line. The tester can also identify an inactive network’s speed  
(10/100/1000mbps).  
Features:  
Provides pin-by-pin configuration of 1-8 pin cables  
Detects network’s activity and speed  
Detects inactive network device type and speed  
Traces cable / network port with its built-in tone generator or its ability to turn on the  
activity LEDs on network hubs, switches, and NICs  
Checks line polarity and detects if AC/DC voltage is present  
Operations:  
1. About live / active networks: When testing an installed cable, please verify if a  
voltage is present on a network by using the built-in voltage detector. If voltage is  
detected, unplug the power adapter from the network equipment first. Never use  
the tester on live network and cables.  
To do so, plug one end of the cable to the remote unit’s jack. The result will be  
 
Checking a Network  
Refer to the information above to make sure the network is not a live circuit.  
Connect one end of a cable (the other end connected to a wall jack or patch panel)  
to the main tester unit’s “TX / Net Test” jack. Set the tester to “Network Test Mode”  
(see instructions above). The tester will automatically check for network and  
display the result on the main tester’s LED display that’s labeled “Active Network”.  
10 Base-T Network: indicated by a solid lit LED  
10/100 or 10/100/1000Mbps Network: indicated by a blinking LED  
No activity: indicated by a blank LED  
The activity LED of the corresponding port of the connected network switches, hubs,  
or NICs will be lit during this operation. This allows the user to trace the end of a  
wire throughout the network. (Note: A crossover cable must be used when testing  
a NIC.)  
Checking an Inactive Network  
When used on an inactive network, LAN Tracker will not be able to indicate the  
network speed via its LED display as explained above. However, LAN Tracker can  
find the network’s intended bandwidth by checking how the cables are wired. The  
following diagrams can be used as reference.

Using the Tone Generator Function  
Tone will always be sent through the cable that’s connected to the main unit’s TX  
port. To send the tone a specific pin / wire of the cable, set the tester to “Manual /  
Step Test” mode (see above) and use the “Step” button to the desired pin. The tone  
can be detected by Addlogix Tone Probe (CTK-PROBE) or other standard tone  
probe.  
Low Battery  
Red () indicates the tester’s battery is low. When the indicator shows red, it’s  
recommended that the batter be replaced immediately to prevent misreads. (Note:  
It’s recommended that the 9V alkaline batter be removed if the tester is not used for  
an extended period.)
