TestPro CV100
User Manual
Once the test setup is ready and TestPro is connected,
startMulti-Gigvalidationtestbyselecting[Multi-Gig]
on the TestPro. As a convenient quick test, the TestPro
will attempt to connect at 2.5Gbps. If it successfully
connects, it will show SNR and received power on each
cable pair for this network speed.
To conduct a comprehensive Multi-Gig validation test,
select[Autotest].

ii: BASE-T
Multi-Gig tests require the TestPro adapter. However, all
TestPro units are capable of performing simple 10/100/1G
validation tests using the 1G Ethernet port on the side of
the unit.
Performing a BASE-T Autotest is similar to performing a
Multi-Gig Autotest.
Select[BASE-T100/1000Mbps]onthehomescreenof
the TestPro.
Select[Autotest].

iii:PoETestwithPoEenabledRouter/Switches
TestPro supports PoE tests for all PoE-enabled switches,
routers and midspan, commonly referred to as power
source equipment (PSE). It tests measurements for link
speed, SNR, and PoE. Internal and external load tests
check if the link can support 2.5Gbps/5Gbps/10Gbps
when voltage is injected to it continuously.
TestPro will also check that the cable installation meets
the minimum required power to turn on a PoE device.
Specically,TestProsupportsthefollowingtypesofbasic
measurements:
PSE Detected: Yes or blank.
Voltage: Voltage drawn by the PD.
PSEType:1-2,2,3-4,&4-dierenttypeshavedierent
allocated power.
PD Class: 0 to 8 - dierent classes have dierent
allocated power
PoE Cable Pairs: Cable pairs used to transmit electrical
power.
Allocated Power: Power allocated for the PD.
Real Power: Power used when internal load is used.

Commonly Used Terms:
PSE (power source equipment) - a device that provides
power on an Ethernet cable, such as a PoE network
switch.
PD (powered device) - a device powered by PSE.
PD Class - relays information to the PSE on how much
power the PD requires to operate.

This gure demonstrates an AD-
NET-CABLE adapter PoE Port
connected to a PoE-enabled switch.
It is also possible to test the PoE and
the Multi-Gig SNR at the same time
through a Multi-Gig Autotest.
