Morning all,
Looking for some advice here.
We are currently creating a new site-wide fibre network for PLCs and SCADA, as the existing Ethernet Network has been evolving since 1999...using CAT5/fibre/unmanaged switches...and few records.
I have many CAT5 cables that are unmarked, and I will need to trace what is on the device end of the cable as they disappear off under floors etc. because I will need to ensure that I capture all devices, preferably with new cables to the new managed switches in a different location to the existing ones.
Any ideas on how best to find what devices are on the cables?
I do know the expected range of IP Addresses that the devices should be on.
Advice much appreciated.
