Method of Operation

The PoE PRO operates by detecting "pulses"
from a PoE power supply Power Source
Equipment (PSE). These pulses advertise the
PSE's Class which determines the maximum
amount of power it can supply.
The PoE PRO configures itself to the same
Class as the PSE, simulating a powered
device (PD), and demands the maximum
power that should be available for the
advertised Class.

process will take up to 10 seconds.
The initial test measures the voltage supplied
by the PSE with no load. This voltage should
be 48V or greater when connected directly
to the PSE.
When testing for maximum available power,
the PoE PRO will apply a variable load to
the cable while measuring the voltage and
current delivered by the PSE.
The voltage and current measurements are
used to calculate power (watts).
