Detecting Power Over Ethernet
To select PoE mode, press or until PoE appears on
the display.
In PoE mode, the tester solicits PoE on pairs 1,2-3,6 and 4,5-
7,8. The tester may activate a PoE source and will not be
damaged by PoE.
In twisted pair test mode, a flashing PoE mode indicator
means that PoE may be available. To verify the presence of
a PoE source, switch the tester to PoE mode.
Note
The tester will not detect PoE schemes that are not
compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard, such as
Cisco
®
Inline Power.

tester solicits and detects PoE voltage
from 802.3af sources. If PoE is detected,
appears above
the powered pairs. The
may blink as the PoE source
turns the power on and off.
Figure 27 shows the MicroScanner

display when the tester
detects PoE on pairs 4,5 and 7,8.
