1 NuPOE-M16EL Overview
1.1 General Descriptions of NuPOE-M16EL
NuPOE-M16EL is a chassis especially designed for Power over Ethernet (PoE) tests. NuPOE-M16EL
offers a prompt and flexible interface to test and monitor different Ethernet power sourcing equipment.
Usually, NuPOE-M16EL is used in combination with the PD simulation modules, which are inserted in
the chassis. And up to16 modules can be supported at one time per chassis. For complete PoE testing
solution, Xtramus provides XL-T451 module as the PD simulation module. With the XL-T451 module,
NuPOE-M16EL realizes the complete PoE test solution. Also the XL-T451 module can bypass the traffic
from the PSE to a packet generator for traffic analysis.

2 Hardware Description
This section describes the general information of the hardware interfaces of the NuPOE-M16EL chassis
and its modules.
2.1 Chassis
NuPOE-M16EL has 16 slots for installation of the PD emulation modules (XL-T451), 1 Fan slot, 1 Casc
slot and 1 Mgm slot. Besides, there are two arrays of FAN LEDs, up and down on the panel, to shown the
running statues of the fans installed on the top and bottoms of the chassis, respectively. You can see the
number or the name of the slot clearly on the front panel. The front panel of NuPOE-16El is shown as
below.
Warning: XL-SFAN, XL-T451, XL-CASC, and XL-M667 do not support hot-swap. Do not draw them
out of the chassis when the system is power on.

2.2 Modules
2.2.1 XL-T451 Module
XL-T451 is a module specially designed for the NuPOE-M16EL chassis, acting as a PD (powered device)
in the test. One NuPOE-M16EL chassis can contain 16 XL-T451 modules at most, from Slot2 to Slot17,
which are supposed to simulate 16 PDs.
The main functions of XL-T451 module are described as follows:
PoE test: this is the basic function of XL-T451. In this case, XL-T451 acts like a PD, which loads power
from the PSE (DUT). The test result will be analyzed and displayed by the accompany software, namely
APMPT-4 currently.
Bypass: Usually, the test solution is to conduct the PoE test and the traffic tests together, such as the
layer2 or layer3 tests. When switching to the traffic tests, XL-T451 will directly forward the data to the
downstream device, usually a packet generator.
Power supply mode indicator:when the test system is connected properly and powered on,XL-T451 will
check the type of the PSE and indicate it by the af/at LEDs on the top of its front panel.

3 Basic Application Illustration
3.1 Test Traffic and PoE Performance Simultaneously
Below is the illustration to the traffic and PoE performance of the DUT simultaneously. In this case, the
PSE is connected to the “Power” port of NuPOE_M16EL and the NuStreams chassis is connected to the
“Data” port of NuPOE_M16EL. For PoE tests, XL-T451 modules in the NuPOE-M16EL chassis act as PDs
loading power from the PSE. For traffic tests, XL-T451 modules bypass the data flow to the packet
generator, such as NuStream-2000i.

3.2 Cascade of Multiple NuPOE-M16EL Chassis
Several NuPOE-M16EL can be cascaded and controlled by one PC for test of mass production. The
cascade is made by connecting the “Up” and “Down” port on the XL-CASC module of each chassis
mutually, shown as the picture down below. Then connect the Manage Port of any of the chassis. And you
can manage and operate all the chassis simultaneously.
Note: don’t connect multi Mgm Ports to the same network segment, or IP conflict may occur.
The operation of the chassis might be incorrect.

3.3 Connect to PC for Web Management
To configure the settings and check the running status of NuPOE-M16EL on the web browser, please
connect the Mgm port of the XL-M667 module to the NIC of the PC, shown as the picture down below.
And you can set the IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway of the NuPOE-16EL. For more information, please
refer to IP Settings.
Since NuPOE-16EL chassis can be cascaded (refer to Cascade of Multiple NuPOE-M16EL Chassis),
multiple chassis can be managed simultaneously just by connecting the Mgm port of one chassis to the PC,
shown as the picture down below.

4 Software
There is no control button on NuPOE-M16EL, and all operations need to be done by utility software that
runs in Windows system. PC with the utility controls the NuPOE-M16EL via a network cable.
Xtramus provides APMPT-4 as the accompany utility for PoE tests.
APMPT-4: A Windows UI utility of NuStreams chassis platform for all-purpose mass production test. All
tests of network devices can be pre-configure and arranged in sequential on APMPT-4. Accurate and
real-time reports show the performance of the DUT in all aspects.
By the control of APMPT-4, NuStreams chassis can do the traffic test and PoE test simultaneously.
For detailed information about how to operate the PoE test on APMPT-4, refer to APMPT-4 USM.
