Command Command Parameters
< port > pwrdn_v
Runs pwrdn_v test.
In Section 3.2.2 above, the capabilities of PSA software to sequence standard PSE Conformance Tests was described.
Sequencing can also be performed at the Tcl or Wish command line using the sequence application program. The
sequence command is structured as follows:

sequence
Performs standard conformance test sequencing over designated test list and selected ports with options
for reporting to psa_report.xls spreadsheet or to a ascii file as designated by user.
-v
Verbose mode – this is useful for tracking the test steps within each conformance test.
loopCount
The number of test cycles to execute where one test cycle is all specified tests on all
specified ports. Range is 1 to 99. Default is 1.
-p
Sub-command indicating that a user specified list of slot-ports will be provided. Default is ALL
available test ports.
slot_port_list
A space delimited TCL list of slot-port identifiers. Example would be {1,1 1,2 2,1 2,2}.
Must be in braces if more than one port is specified.
-t
Sub-command indicating that a user specified list of tests will be provided. Default is ALL available
tests for the PSE Type (AC MPS or DC MPS).
testList
A space delimited TCL list of test identifiers. Example would be {det_v det_i det_time}. Must be
in braces if more than one port is specified.
-hp
Run PSE Conformance Tests on a High Power (30W) PSE with PSA-1200 Port Combiners
connected. See Section 7 for further information on testing High Power PSE’s with PSA-1200.
-type 1
Run PSE Conformance Tests for 802.3at Type-1, 15.4 W PSE’s (
Default Mode
)
-type 2
(
Not Available for PSA-1200
)
-class
Override default PD Class 0 for Type-1 PSE Conformance Testing. Only valid for Type-1 mode.
pd_class
Type-1 PD Class to use in any tests that accept a classification argument. Range is 0,1,2,3.
-c
or
–s
Sub-command to route test results to the
psa_report.xls
spreadsheet.
-f
Sub-command to route test results to an ASCII file where the default file will be a date and time-
stamped file name placed in the \Results subdirectory.
-n
Sub-command to specify a file name and path that is different than the default for and ASCII report
file
file_name
The absolute path and file name (excluding “.txt” extension) of ASCII formatted report. Use
forward slashes in path input.
-break
Configure sequencer to terminate sequencing and produce a partial test report if and when any
Conformance Test first generates an error condition. Example would be a PSE port failing to power-
up.
An example of the
sequence
command would be:
PSA-3,1> sequence 2 –p {3,1 3,2 5,1 5,2} –t {det_v det_i det_range class_v
pwrup_time} -c
This will sequence the 5 tests in the test list across the 4 ports in the port list a total of 2 cycles or iterations and send the
results to the psa_report.xls spreadsheet.
To cover all ports with all available tests,
PSA-3,1> sequence 1 -f -n c:/Temp/myfile
will sequence all available tests to all populated ports and place the results in an ASCII file (myfile.txt) in the c:\Temp
directory.
