Network Tests
11.1 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The Power over Ethernet test detects and reports voltage
presence on the line. If no voltage is present initially, the
ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu proceeds to initiate IEEE802.3af PoE
protocol to activate, test, and report whether PoE is found at
the far end (the Power Source), the type and mode of PoE,
polarity and wiring (e.g. 1-2 pair positive and 3-6 pair
negative), and whether it meets the IEEE802.3af PoE
standard (pass or fail). Both the PoE voltage and current will
be reported after the test.
