LLDP Emulation
The IEEE 802.3 specifications require that Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4 PDs implement PoE LLDP and use the Power via MDI TLV for power negotiation. This requirement therefore applies to any PD that draws more than 13 watts. The PDA-600 family includes an option to flexibly emulate any PSE while capturing and analyzing the LLDP power negotiation protocol from a PD.
Key Features
- Flexibly Emulate 802.3at Type-1/Type-2 PSE’s and Power Allocations
- Flexibly Emulate 802.3bt Type-3/Type-4 PSE’s and Power Allocations (classes 1-8)
- Emulate PSE Protocol Timing including delayed allocations
- Informative, 802.3at and 802.3bt Limit-Checked Excel Spreadsheet Protocol Traces
