Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] PoE test/measurement tool
I had a fluke tool that did this. Visiting the Fluke homepage points me that my old tool is discontinued, and this is the new tool http://www.flukenetworks.com/enterprise-network/network-testing/OneTouch-AT-Network-Assistant Specifically, states: Power over Ethernet (PoE)Single ended testing: - User-defined testing to IEEE 802.3at class 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 without LLDP negation, or 4 with LLDP negotiation - The following PSE PoE parameters are measured: - Received class - PSE type - Unloaded voltage(V) - Pairs used - Loaded voltage(V) - Loaded power(W) Inline testing between PSE and PD devices: - PoE Negotiation between PSE and PD - The following PoE parameters are measured: - Pairs used - Voltage(V) - Current(mA) - Power(W) InfrastructureCable, link, PoE, nearest switch, nearest AP, DHCP server, DNS server, gateway - See more at: http://www.flukenetworks.com/enterprise-network/network-testing/OneTouch-AT-Network-Assistant#sthash.cnGe1K6O.dpuf On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 1:02 PM, Frank Sweetser f...@wpi.edu wrote: Hello all, after troubleshooting some recent AP difficulties, I've realized that we're woefully under-tooled for diagnosing PoE faults.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] PoE test/measurement tool
I have a Fluke LinkRunner AT 2000 that validates up to 3at and actually draw 25W from the switch. Works quite well. http://www.flukenetworks.com/enterprise-network/network-testing/LinkRunner-AT-Network-Auto-Tester Britton Anderson blanders...@alaska.edu | Senior Network Communications Specialist | University of Alaska http://www.alaska.edu/oit | 907.450.8250 On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 10:14 AM, Mike King m...@mpking.com wrote: I had a fluke tool that did this.
