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.

using a voltage meter.

Warning: During the power loading tests,

don’t touch the two pins at the same time, or
you may suffer electric shock.

Down

For cascading another NUPOE-16EL chassis.

2.2.2 XL-CASC Module

Though XL-CASC module, you can cascade multiple NuPOE-16EL chassis together. In that way you
can manage and operate multiple NuPOE-16EL chassis simultaneously. The XL-CASC module should be
installed in the Casc slot of the NuPOE-16EL chassis.
To cascade the NuPOE-16EL, please inter-connect the Up port or Down port of the chassis to be
cascaded with the RJ45 cables. For more information, please refer to Cascade of Multiple NuPOE-16EL

Chassis.

Warning: XL-CASC does not support hot-swap. Please do not draw out the XL-CASC module
when the system is power on.
