  • Page 5: Introduction

    Section 3 will review basic PoE technology, PSE product characteristics, and the hardware/software features of the PowerSync Analyzer. The PowerSync Analyzer family from Sifos Technologies also includes the following products:  PSA-3000: Chassis-based analyzer with capacity to test up to 24 PSE ports. The PSA-3000 fully supports optional modules including the 802.3at PSE Conformance Test Suite and the PSE Multi-Port Suite.
