3.  Tap to select a PoE class setting to match your switch's (or active PoE injector's) available class. Your unit supports these classes:

  • 802.3af Classes 0-3
  • 802.3at PoE+ Class 4
  • Cisco's UPOE, which can provide up to 51 W
  • 802.3bt Classes 5-8

Select Passive PoE Injector if you are using a non-IEEE injector.
 

NOTE: Your unit may not receive the total wattage advertised by your switch or injector because of power loss over the cable.

NOTE: EtherScope automatically negotiates Cisco UPOE over LLDP, up to 51 W. LLDP must be enabled on the switch for negotiation to succeed. If the UPOE Class is selected on your EtherScope but LLDP is not enabled on your Cisco switch, negotiation fails.
 

LLDP
This toggle button appears if Class 4 (25.50 W) is selected. Enable this setting if LLDP is enabled on the switch you are testing. Class 4 LLDP must be enabled on the switch for AutoTest to detect it successfully. If the LLDP setting is enabled but your switch does not support LLDP, negotiation fails.

Requested Power (W)
This setting appears if UPOE is selected in the Powered Device Class setting shown above or if the Powered Device Class is set to Passive PoE Injector and TruePower is enabled. Tap to enter a Requested Power other than the default, if needed. If you tap the backspace button on the pop-up number pad and clear the default value, the valid power range is displayed.

TruePower™


TruePower validates that the Switch (Power Sourcing Equipment) and cabling can provide the requested power under load by applying a load equivalent to the selected class to mimic a Powered Device (PD). Tap the toggle button to enable the TruePower feature.
