Power (watts) display appears
first, followed by volts.

NETWORK

The Network LED indicates a powered network device is present (switch, a PC NIC
card, access point, VoIP phone, IP security camera, etc.). The Power Panel detects
the link pulses, lights the ALERT LED and displays the pair(s), speed and duplex.

WHAT IS POE: Power supplied to network devices over a CAT5/6 cable (no separate
AC power required). Many VoIP phones, IP cameras and access points are PoE devices.
WHAT IS PSE: Devices that supply PoE are “Power Sourcing Equipment”. PoE capable
switches and PoE injectors are examples of PSE devices.
PoE OPERATION: PoE standard IEEE 802.3af suggests that a PSE send a low power
“discovery voltage” and when a proper load is sensed, apply the full voltage (48VDC).

FORCE LINK BUTTON Press if you suspect a network device is present
but are receiving little or no link information (an ALERT LED but no display).
Some network devices refuse to “talk” unless prompted. The FORCE LINK
button sends link pulses... prompting a dialog. Caution: When inline, link
pulses from pressing FORCE LINK may disrupt existing communiactions.

Pairs where PoE exist

Type of PoE device*

Tests the operation of the PoE voltage source by applying a load in
compliance with both IEEE and Cisco standards. This load should trigger
the full 48VDC PoE voltage. Caution: When inline, only press if your are
familiar with all devices and how they react to 48VDC.

Although not allowed by any standard, digital and analog phones and FAXs are on
CAT5/6 cables. These high voltage devices can damage other devices if you are not
aware of their presence. The Power Panel CAT5/6 DVM searches for them, lights the
ALERT LED and displays the phones’ voltages. Up to 4 phones can be displayed.

PHONE ALERT LED LIGHTS IF PRESENT

When a analog or digital phone or FAX machine is

present, the PHONE LED lights. Press SEL to locate display.

NETWORK ALERT LED LIGHTS IF PRESENT

When a VoIP phone, IP camera, switch or other

network device is spotted, the

NETWORK LED lights. Press SEL to locate display.

Pair(s) with activity

(10,100,1000 MB/s). “Advertised” if a

single unit. “Negotiated” if inline.

*A PSE at the end of a cable supplying power on
1/2 & 3/6 is an “endspan device” (typically a switch
with built-in PoE). A PSE placed in the middle of
a cable on pairs 4/5 & 7/8
is a ”midspan device”.

PoE ALERT LED LIGHTS IF PSE/PoE PRESENT

Press SEL to locate display.

Discovery voltage is 5-15VDC. Full PoE (48VDC).

Typical power is 5-10 watts

Note: If not connected inline, use the center connector.

The PoE LED indicates that Power over Ethernet is on the cable. The cable pairs,
amplitude of PoE voltage and, if connected inline, PoE power are displayed.
Further, pressing TEST PoE prompts the full 48VDC voltage (see glossary below).

“TEST POE” button depressed

48VDC is typical central office voltage

LEAVE CONNECTED: The Power Panel can remain connected inline between two
devices without affecting the communication on the link. This is true whether the
Power Panel is in ON or OFF. This makes the inline version perfect as a long term,
practical monitoring device.

LINK BEACON: When the FORCE LINK button is latched, transmitted link pulses
cause the link LED on the receiving device to blink. This helps locate ports in crowded
panels. To “latch”, hold the button for more than 5 seconds (link pulses will transmit
for 30 minutes). Press any button to unlatch. When latched, “Lb” displays on the LCD.

LEAVE CONNECTED: The Power Panel can remain connected inline between two
devices without affecting the communication. This is true whether the Power Panel is
ON or OFF. The inline version is designed as a long term, practical monitoring device.

NOTE ON POWER (WATT) DISPLAY: To measure a device’s power draw, the Power
Panel must be connected inline (in between) the PSE switch and the PoE device.
