Inline between a PoE Powered Device and the
Network
During AutoTest, NetTool checks for a network on one
side and an Ethernet termination on the other. If this
configuration is found, the sides are connected together
for up to 20 seconds while NetTool searches for a link
pulse. This enables an Ethernet-powered device to power
up and source link to complete the connection.
If NetTool is connected between a PoE-powered device
and the network, a diagram similar to the one shown in
Figure 3-6 is displayed.
