Page 4: Revision History
Revision History RT-PoE4N/10G - Base Model 1.1. The Model RT-PoE4N/10G is the initial version in production. It can be recognized by the version string as follows (see VERSION command; also seen on power-on). Reach PoE Tester Model RT-PoE4N/10G/24 PN 53-0004-11 Rev A 01 SW 1.03 11/01/2016 Copyright (C) 2005-2016 by Reach Technology Inc. -
Page 5: General
Powered Device (PD) loads in a 1U high chassis. Each RT-PoE4N/10G section has a “UUT” port (Unit Under Test). The UUT port is connected to the PSE and acts as a PD load to that port. The UUT data path is connected via power-isolating magnetics to the adjacent UUT port (1 to 2, 3 to 4, 5 to 6, etc.). -
Page 6: Features
1.74" high Electrical Characteristics 2.5. The RT-PoE4N/10G is powered via a locking power DIN 4 pin connector and requires 12V DC at a maximum of 8.5 Amps. The unit is supplied with a worldwide universal AC input power supply brick. Its characteristics are: 85-264VAC input, 87.5% efficient, 0 to 40C operation, IEC320/C14 input... -

Page 8: Uut Connections
UUT Connections 3.3. The RT-PoE4N/10G has 24 test ports, configured as 12 pairs (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc.). Each port has the ability to act as a PD load to the UUT. In addition, each port pair can be configured to pass data from one port to the other via internal straight through connections, allowing the loads to be applied while passing traffic. -

Page 10: Ethernet Power Selection
The unit contains two separate power paths for pairs 1,2 / 3,6 and 4,5 / 7,8. These have the standard full wave bridge so any polarity is accepted. The voltage measurement function handles either polarity and can be used to validate the expected PSE port polarity. Reach PoE4N/10G Tester Manual 1.1 06/15/2020 Page 10... -
Page 11: Operational Overview
The data path section allows the UUT port data to be in two states: disconnected, or connected to the data of the next UUT port. This allows data to pass from port to port for testing. Reach PoE4N/10G Tester Manual 1.1 06/15/2020 Page 11... -

“power-good” status of the IEEE controller goes active. The “status” command can also be used to report the “power-good” status of each PoE PD controller. The yellow LED will be lit when a setting is changed on the port. Reach PoE4N/10G Tester Manual 1.1 06/15/2020 Page 14... -
Page 15: Ethernet Cables
(ports 1-2, 3-4, etc.). The data path connections are made through magnetics and signal relays for compatibility with Phy-based cable diagnostics. When passing 10GBASE-T traffic through the PoE4N/10G data path, it is important to consider the type of cable, plugs and jacks used as part of that link. -
Page 16: Command Reference
This section describes the commands available. For typical command sequences, see Appendix When the unit is ready for a command, it issues the default prompt "RT-PoE4N/10G>". The prompt may be changed via the "hostname" command so that a unit can be identified by its prompt. -
