1.3 Functions and Feature
The LE-8500X series is a handy-type communication protocol analyzer that can simultaneously measure
and test the power supply status of PoE (Power over Ethernet) of one of the lines while simultaneously
measuring two lines of Ethernet communication data of 10BASE-T to 1000BASE-T. As it has the online
monitor function, packet generate (PG) function, statistical analysis function, PoE judgment function, etc.
you can use the analyzer according to the test situation. It can be widely used for communication systems,
communication device development, inspection, and failure diagnosis.
♦On-line Monitor Function
This function records both the Ethernet communication frame owing through the network and
the transmission/reception time (timestamp) of the frame.
♦PoE Measurement Function
This function measures power (watt), voltage and current provided from a PSE device (Power
Sourcing Equipment) which supports PoE/PoE+/PoE++(IEEE802.3af/at/bt) to a PD (Powered
Device). It can also distinguish types of power supply and appropriate power range.
♦Statistic Function
This is a useful feature for analyzing network trac and the frequency of specic frames.
♦Delay Time Measurement Function
This function measures the time dierence in reception timing between ports based on the
transmission/reception time (timestamp) of the Ethernet communication frame flowing
through the network.
♦Packet Generator(PG) Function
You can transmit any packet.
♦Ping Function
It is able to conrm the linking to the network by transmitting the Ping commands.
♦Port Blink Function
You can see which port on the hub the multiple Ethernet cables are connected to.
♦Utility CD
Utility CD contains following les
Manual folder : Instruction manual for the analyzer
Utility folder : Utility software to convert measurement les to Wireshark format
