POE-TESTER+

Identify PoE PSE Modes and Standards
The POE-TESTER+ provides two bi-color LEDs for quick and easy PSE mode identification. A Power over Ethernet system comprises a PSE (Power Sourcing
Equipment) and a PD (Powered Device). The PSE is a device that will provide power in a PoE setup. There are three types of PSE, Mode A, Mode B and 4-pair
mode. The PSE may be a Mode A, end-span PoE switch or a Mode B, mid-span PoE injector or a 4-pair mode PSE that is end-span plus mid-span.
The PD is a PoE-enabled terminal by PSE and thus consumes energy, such as IP network cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points and more.
PoE Installation Troubleshooting
Although PDs that implement only Mode A with end-span or Mode B with mid-span are disallowed by the IEEE 802.3af/at standard, there are still some of the
PDs that are designed to work with only one of the modes. Thus, it will cause the PoE PSE and PD not to be compatible with each other in the applications.
For example, an end-span designed PoE switch cannot power on the remote mid-span only wireless access point. But most of the time, the installers would not

malfunctioned PD.
