(10,100,1000 MB/s), duplex.
Cable pair location.
Phones (digital, analog)
INTERACTIVE BUTTONS:
VoIP phone and IP camera
load simulator.
Link pulse transmit button.
OTHER FEATURES:
Tone generation
Port beacon, Auto shutoff
9V battery (included).
INLINE FEATURES
P/N POE1000IL
All of the features of the
Standard model plus:
POWER PASS THRU
Two jacks allow PoE power to
be passed to the PoE device
so it can be tested.
POWER MEASUREMENT
Placed INLINE between two
devices, the power draw of the
device can be measured in
watts. Too much power draw is
the number one reason for
IP/PoE network failure.
TONE STAR FEATURES
P/N POE1000ILT
All of the features of the
INLINE model plus:
AN ILLUMINATED PROBE
The Tone Star model includes
a full featured, filtered probe
for tracing tones (wire location).
The probe features an ultra-
bright LED lighted tip, filtering to
block fluorescent hum, volume
control, 2 status LEDs,
adapters for alarm wire, RJ11,
RJ45 and coax connectors.

WATCH ALERT LEDS. They light if a
network device is ON or if a phone or PoE voltage
is present.
POWER ON: Press any button.
POWER OFF: Press and hold the SEL (select) button until off.
BATTERY SAVER: No activity for 5 minutes shuts the Power Panel OFF.

device, prompting full
PoE voltage.

Press to prompt
devices to talk to
you. Hold for 5
secs to turn on Port
Beacon. See page 2.
The Network LED indicates a active network device is present (switch, a PC NIC
card, access point, VoIP phone, IP security camera, etc.). The Power Panel detects
the link pulses, lights the ALERT LED and displays the pair(s), speed and duplex.

WHAT IS POE: Power supplied to network devices over a CAT5/6 cable (no separate
AC power required). Many VoIP phones, IP cameras and access points are PoE devices.
WHAT IS PSE: Devices that supply PoE are “Power Sourcing Equipment”. PoE capable
switches and PoE injectors are examples of PSE devices.
PoE OPERATION: PoE standard IEEE 802.3af suggests that a PSE send a low power
“discovery voltage” and when a proper load is sensed, apply the full voltage (48VDC).
FORCE LINK BUTTON Press if you suspect a network device is present
but are receiving little or no link information (possibly an ALERT LED but
no display). Some network devices refuse to “talk” unless prompted. The
FORCE LINK button sends link pulses... prompting a dialog.
CAT5/6 DVM AND PoE TESTER + TONE
Pairs where PoE exist
Type of PoE device*
Tests the operation of the PoE voltage source by applying a load in
compliance with both IEEE and Cisco standards. This load should trigger
the full 48VDC PoE voltage.
Although not allowed by any standard, digital and analog phones and FAXs are on
CAT5/6 cables. These high voltage devices can damage other devices if you are not
aware of their presence. The Power Panel CAT5/6 DVM searches for them, lights the
ALERT LED and displays the phones’ voltages. Up to 4 phones can be displayed.
PHONE ALERT LED LIGHTS IF PRESENT
When a analog or digital phone or FAX machine is
present, the PHONE LED lights. Press SEL to locate display.

network device is spotted, the
NETWORK LED lights. Press SEL to locate display.
Pair(s) with activity
(10,100,1000 MB/s). This is the
“Advertised” speed of the device. *A PSE at the end of a cable supplying power on
1,2 3,6 is an “endspan device” (typically a switch
with built-in PoE). A PSE placed in the middle of
a cable on pairs 4,5 7,8 is a ”midspan device”.
PoE ALERT LED LIGHTS IF PSE/PoE PRESENT
Press SEL to locate display.
The PoE LED indicates that PoE voltage is present on the cable. This lights the alert LED
and displays the pair(s) and amplitude of the PoE voltage. Further, pressing TEST PoE
prompts the full 48VDC voltage (see glossary below).

LINK BEACON: When the FORCE LINK button is latched, transmitted link pulses
cause the link LED on the receiving device to blink. This helps locate ports in crowded
panels. To “latch”, hold the button for more than 5 seconds (link pulses will transmit
for 30 minutes them timeout to save the battery). Press any button to unlatch. When
latched, “Lb” displays on the LCD.
NOTE ON POWER (WATTS): The Power Panel inline version (P/N POE1000IL) has 2
jacks. It can be inserted in between the PSE and PoE device to measure power draw.

CONNECT THE POWER PANEL: Connect the tester directly to the device
you wish to test.
This is the perfect tool for detecting active network devices, power for VoIP phones, IP
cameras and other devices on RJ45 jacks and cables. To trace cables or ports with the
Locator Tone or Locator Port Beacon, see Interactive buttons at the bottom of the page.
