    MPD-600 Software

    MPD-600 includes PowerShell MPD, an interactive programmaing environment bulit on Tcl/Tk. Cutomized test applications for volume QA and manufacturing test are readily produced and debugged using intuitive Tcl command extensions for managing the MPD-600. MPD Interactive is an optional software that provides a GUI based software that provides various interop and diagnostic test features..

    The Multi PoE Power Device test software includes both a Tcl/Tk based software and an optional GUI based software

    MPD-600 Interactive and PowerShell software

    MPD Interactive

    MPD Interactive Main Menu

    • Describe your PD(s)
    • Pick a test regime
    • Pick a powering voltage (cable distance)
    • Enter a test duration
    • Select power demotion cases
    • Describe non-default (e.g. LLDP) power policing levels
    • Connection and Polarity Management
    MPD Interactive is GUI based software uption ot MPD-600

    MPD Interactive Main Menu

    Plug´n Test Menu

    • Plug in any mix of Class 0 – Class 8 PDs
    • Testing starts when menu opens and also when PDs are plugged in
    • Assess PD class
    • Assess start-up load violations (for PD class)
    • Assess steady state load violations (for PD class)
    • Assess transient power violations (for PD class)
    • Assess low power violations (for PD class)
    • Recover assigned IP addresses assigned to each PD
    • Support real-time PD operation as testing runs
    MPD Interactive include several menus. This is the Plug´n Test Menu

    MPD Interactive Plug´n Test Menu

    MPD Group Interop Test

    • Plug in up to 6 identical PDs
    • Testing runs simultaneously on all PDs
    • Validate PD class
    • Assess all Plug’n Test Parameters in real time (see above)
    • Assess power demoted behaviors of each PD
    • Support power policing for user-specified (e.g. LLDP Request) power levels
    You can create very efficient group testing with MPD Interactive

    PowerShell PDA Wish Console

    MPD Diagnostic PD Test

    • Specify one PD port
    • Measure and validate PD detection signature (Kohm)
    • Measure and validate PD classification signature (mA)
    • Assess all Plug’n Test Parameters in real time (see above)
    • Specify powering voltage (i.e. cable distance)
    • Police power to PD class or user-specified (e.g. LLDP Request) level
    • Shut off Power Policing to measure power consumption with no shutdowns
    • Report Min/Max power draw and load current
    MPD Diagnostic Test is made for troubleshooting of a single PD
