CONNECT
Description Controls the relays that connect the power load circuitry to the UUT port
via the GbE transformer. From a power perspective, this is equivalent to
plugging in the RJ45 from the UUT. See the Operational Overview
section for more details. Connect must be ‘on’ for the UUT to see an
IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE load. The connect command can also be used to
select the main, alternate, or both power pairs. If a comma is present, the
command assumes the user is specifying the connect status of each pair
individually. The first value is the connect status of the main pair and the
second is the alternate pair (e.g. when “connect 0,1” is entered, only
the alternate pair will be connected to the load).
Command: conn[ect] <on|off|0|1|0,0|0,1|1,0|1,1>
Response: printf(":p%d Connect %d\n", port, state);
- or -
printf(":p%d Connect %d,%d\r\n",port,stM,stA);
state = 1 or 0 for on and off respectively.
DETECT
Description Sets the IEEE 802.3af/at/bt detect signature. 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.
The default setting is ok for both pairs.
Command: det[ect] <ok|lo|ok,ok|ok,lo|lo,ok|ok,ok>
Arguments: ok signature resistance 24.9K ohms
lo signature resistance 13K ohms
Response: printf(":p%d det %s\n", port, arg);
- or -
printf(":p%d det %d,%d\r\n",port,argM,argA);
EXT
Description Controls the connection of the data path from one test port to another.
The data path is connected between adjacent ports: 1-2, 3-4, etc. when
the ext command is set on for both ports. This is necessary for the ports
to send data to each other. When ext is off, the data path is open.
The default state is on.
Command: ext[ernal] <on|off>
Response: printf(":p%d Ext Ref %d\n", port, state);
state = 1 or 0 for on and off respectively.
