• Sequence check function (lost packets, reordered packets, and duplicate packets)
• IPv6 emulation function (NDP and Ping6 auto response)
• PoE measurement functions
• Powered device (PD) emulation function
• Class declaration
• Line power detection function
• Evaluation of electrical characteristics (using a PoE monitor connector.
Connection of an external electric load device required)
• Basic measurement functions
• Traffic generation function
• Latency measurement function
• Bit error rate measurement function
• Multi user function (up to 8 users can connect simultaneously)
• Capture function (equipped with 1-MB capture memory for each port)
This instrument has functions allowing it to transmit frames at high loads from its
measurement ports. Incorrect operation can result in breakdown or

CAUTION
•
•
Turn OFF the power when connecting/disconnecting the cable
Check that the AE5511 TrafficTesterPro is turned OFF when
connecting/disconnecting the PoE monitor cable. Connecting/Disconnecting
the cable with the power turned ON may damage the AE5523 electrically.
Do not short the terminals
If a PoE device is connected and the PoE setting is enabled, voltage is applied
between PoE monitor terminals (V1 and G1, V2 and G2, and so on).
Do not short the PoE monitor terminals. Doing so may cause malfunction.
Note
Cables are not included in the package. Use the following connectors or their
equivalents.
• Plug: 54306-2619 (by Molex)
• Shell: 52370-2670 (by Molex)

Operation
•
•
Install or remove the unit with the main power of the AE5511 turned OFF
(STANDBY LED: OFF and POWER LED: OFF). Otherwise, malfunction may
result.
Attach blank panels to unused AE5511 slots to prevent accidents.
CAUTION
AE5511
Unit
1. Check that the main power of the AE5511 is turned OFF.
2. Align the unit with the slot guide of the AE5511 and insert it slowly toward the back of
the AE5511.
3. Press the panel section of the unit with your thumbs until the connectors on the unit
and AE5511 engage.
4. Fasten the two attachment screws of the unit to fix the unit in place.
Removing the Unit
Pull the lever
1. Check that the main power of the AE5511 is turned OFF.
2. Loosen the two attachment screws of the unit.
3. Pull the unit lever slowly toward you. The connectors disengage, and the unit
comes out from the AE5511.
4. Hold the attachment screw with each hand, and pull the unit slowly out from the
AE5511.
