How to know LAN Cable is working or not

[sainit]

Hello Everyone!!!

My query is : -

If two or more computers connected through LAN Cable. We could know that cable is OK or not by looking at "Local Area Network".

In case there is only one computer and LAN Cable is connected to this computer, how i will know that data is flowing from this or not up to other end of cable.

(It happened with me when i was doing a very long distance LAN Cabling. There were 2-3 joints in between and i was not able to get data on another computer.)

are the lights blinking on the LAN port? and did u properly splice the cable, there's sumthin like cross and straight cabling, hope u got it right?

most simple thing is you have a kit to test it...
it cost around 300 rs and found any where...
you have 2 ends and it runs with a battery...
and signals are sent from one end and equivalent lights emits..and 7 wires are checked....
get one

instead a green light should glow at both the end points if the lan cable is fine

hello dear,

I want a tool which can be hold in hand and through which i can know that data is coming from another side in the cable.

Some times computer is not available on both end and anyone cannot come and go for very long distance every time to check whether green light is glowing or not.

so pls tell me the name of such a tool and where i can get it and what will the price for this.

thanks
