Reach RT-PoE5 - Class - Dual Signature

Reach PoE5 Tester Manual 1.8 03/25/2021 Page 24
CLASS – Dual Signature
Description
Sets the IEEE load class while in dual signature mode. The command
supports both the Type 1/2 “Legacy” class settings and the Type 3/4
“Compliant” class settings. See IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt
specification (external documents). Using two values separated with a
comma allows the main and alt pairs to be set differently, or a single
value will be applied to both pairs. Use a capital ‘L’ after the class
number to specify the dual signature legacy class. If left off, the
compliant class setting is used.
The default setting is 0 for both pairs.
Command:
cl[ass] <0|1|2|3|4|5>[, 0|1|2|3|4|5]
- or -
cl[ass] <0|1L|2L|3L|4L>[, 0|1L|2L|3L|4L]
Argument:
class value (append a capital ‘L’ for type 1/2 legacy class settings)
Response:
printf(":p%d class %d\r\n", port, class);
- or -
printf(":p%d class %d,%d\r\n",port,clsM,clsA);
Example:
sin 0
p9 cl 3
Response:
:p9 class 3D<CR><LF>
This sets port 9 IEEE "class" to compliant class 3 on both pairs.
Example:
sin 0
p1 cl 1L,2L
Response:
:p1 class 1L,2L<CR><LF>
This sets port 1 IEEE "class" to legacy class 1 on the main pair and
legacy class 2 on the alt pair.
