A network link tester couples to a LAN port with the LAN port having both a network transmit pair and a node transmit pair line. The link detector scans the network transmit pair and node transmit pair lines for the presence of link signals. Upon finding a link signal, the link tester indicates if the link signals were on the network transmit pair or on the node transmit pair line. Further, the link tester determines the network standard used and identifies the available operational nodes. The process of using a LAN tester includes coupling the tester to the LAN port, scanning network lines for the presence of link signals and determining and displaying operational capabilities. Optionally, the link tester may generate a tone signal on the network lines to assist in identifying line faults. Further, the link tester may generate link signals responsive to receive link signals.
