9. PoE Service Analyzer Application
The PowerSync Analyzer 3.2 software release includes a fully automated test application and reporting tool for testing
PoE Service to a PD. This application allows each PSA test port to function as a highly sophisticated service analyzer
at the 802.3af PD interface (or service outlet).
The
PoE Service Analyzer
application is accessible through either PSA Interactive or PowerShell. This section will
introduce the types of testing performed by the PoE Service Analyzer and the associated reporting available. It will
also present configuration alternatives including support for “in-band” instrument control from a remote host. Finally,
it will overview the additions to PSA Interactive and PowerShell that access the PoE Service Analyzer.
9.1.
PoE Service Access Tests
The
PoE Service Analyzer
combines PowerSync Analyzer test ports with specialized application software to enable
the most comprehensive and fully automated testing available for PoE analysis and qualification at a Powered Device
service access point. The tests available go well beyond standard power-up and line voltage measurements found in
low cost, hand-held analyzers. The PoE Service Analyzer will fully assess
interoperability risks
,
safety hazards
, and
PoE
performance limitations
at the connection to any Powered Device.
The PoE Service Analyzer provides fully automated testing in 3 categories:
Basic Service Tests
evaluate the basic Power-over-Ethernet connection, reporting connection information such as
powered pairs (including multiple PoE sources), power polarity, and the ability of the PoE service to power up typical
(and nominal) Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Powered Devices*.
Parameter
Description
Range of Outcomes
PD_Class_0:
Ability of service to power typical Class 0 PD
ENABLED / DISABLED
PD_Class_1:
Ability of service to power typical Class 1 PD
ENABLED / DISABLED
PD_Class_2:
Ability of service to power typical Class 2 PD
ENABLED / DISABLED
PD_Class_3:
Ability of service to power typical Class 3 PD
ENABLED / DISABLED
CONNECTION:
Powered Cable Pairs (number of services)
ALT A, ALT B,
ALT A+B (redundant)
POLARITY:
Power Polarity (per Powered Pair)
MDI(positive) /
MDI-X(negative)
Parametric Tests
report a number of parameters of the PoE service that are relevant to interoperability of all PD’s at
the PoE service outlet. Additionally, certain safety related behaviors of the PoE service are analyzed. Information
collected includes line voltages (DC and AC) at power extremes, detection signature range verification, rejection
signature range verification, inrush and overload tolerance of the PoE connection, disconnect timing, and overload
timing response of the PoE connection. In performing these tests, the PowerSync
®
Analyzer is utilized to emulate a
wide range of IEEE 802.3af compliant steady state and transient Powered Device behaviors.

ACV_(13W):
PoE Line Noise to High Power PD
to assure “clean” DC line voltage to high power PD (< 0.5 Vpp)
0 – 5 VAC
PASS / FAIL
MIN_DETECT:
Power Applied to Valid Low-End PD Signature
to assure all Valid PD’s are detected properly (24 Kohm)
PASS / FAIL
MAX_DETECT:
Power Applied to Valid High-End PD Signature
to assure all Valid PD’s are detected properly (26 Kohm)
PASS / FAIL
Non802_DET:
Power Applied to Capacitive Load, Invalid 802.3af PD
to note capability of PSE to power many “legacy” PD’s
NONE /
Non802-Detect
MIN_REJECT:
Rejection of Invalid Low-End PD Signature
to assure that non-PoE devices do not get powered (15 Kohm)
PASS / FAIL
