Power Management Analyzer Suites
While most PSE ports are part of multi-port PSE, behaviors of such systems of PSE ports are beyond the scope of IEEE 802.3 specifications. Sifos offers two fully automated analyzer suites that uniquely characterize PSE port administration and power management behaviors including PD admittance policies, PSE capacity management, LLDP policies, and powering stability. Each of these suites are built upon Live PD Emulation, a feature that enables each test port to independently and continuously emulate user-described PD’s.
PMA Suite for PSA-3000, PSA3402 and PSL-3000: 802.3at (30W) PSE´s
- In-Depth System Testing of 802.3at and 802.3bt 2-Pair PSE’s Using PSA-3000 or PSL-3000 instruments

LLDP Emulation & Analysis
The optional LLDP Emulation feature allows a PSA-3000, PSA-3402 and PSL-3000 test port to behave just like an 802.3at or 802.3bt PD that uses LLDP to convey its power demands. 802.3 PoE LLDP is a special variant of LLDP protocol that involves handshakes and protocol timing between a PSE and a PD.
