The Ethernet interface of a LAN power sensor requires PoE (power over Ethernet).
See
Chapter 4.5, "LAN PoE Interface"
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect the measurement results. To avoid any
impact, use category 5 cables or better.

1. Connect the RF connector of the sensor to the DUT.
Chapter 3.4, "Connecting to a DUT"
2.
NOTICE!
Risk of sensor damage. Use only PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE)
according to IEEE standards 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at.
Otherwise your power sensor can get damaged.
Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet connector of the sensor to an Ethernet switch that
supports PoE power delivery.
3. Connect the controlling host to the Ethernet switch.
4. Establish a connection between the power sensor and the network.
