Page 15: Tone Generation
PoE PRO can be used together with a compatible tone probe (available from TREND NETWORKS) to identify and trace cables. PoE PRO can generate various types of tone on various combinations of pins. Choice of tone type and pin connection is best determined by experiment, to achieve the best results with a particular probe type and in a particular cable situation. - Page 16 HUB (PORT) BLINK To assist in confirming correct cabling of Ethernet installations, PoE PRO can generate Ethernet signalling on one end of a cable which causes the port LED of the device connected to the other end to flash. Hub (port) Blink is only available when the DATA port is selected.
