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.
