1. Introducció
The TRENDnet TC-NTP1 Inline PoE Tester is a compact tool designed for network professionals. It provides accurate testing for various Power over Ethernet (PoE) technologies, including 4PPoE, PoE+, PoE, and passive PoE. This device operates inline between a PoE source (PSE) and a PoE device (PD), offering real-time data on wattage, voltage, i amperage. It is compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE devices up to 100W and non-standard passive PoE devices ranging from 11V to 60V.
2. Característiques clau

5. Configuració
- Ensure the TC-NTP1 is free from any physical damage.
- The device is battery-free and ready for use upon connection. No external power source is required for its operation.
- Identify the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and the Powered Device (PD) in your network setup.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
6.1. Connecting the Tester
- Connect the Ethernet cable from your PoE source (e.g., PoE switch or injector) to the PSE port on the TC-NTP1.
- Connecteu un cable Ethernet des del PD port on the TC-NTP1 to your PoE device (e.g., IP camera, access point).
- The TC-NTP1 will automatically power on and begin displaying information.
6.2. Testing Modes
The TC-NTP1 offers three distinct testing functions:
- T-mode (PSE Device Testing): This mode is used to determine the PoE type and voltage output of your Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), such as a PoE switch or injector. Connect the PSE directly to the tester's PSE port.
- N-mode (Non-Standard Passive PoE Devices): Designed for testing non-standard passive PoE devices. This mode supports devices with voltage oscil·la entre 11V i 60V.
- I-mode (PoE Inline Testing): For real-time monitoring, connect the tester inline between the PSE and the Powered Device (PD). This mode displays the voltage, amperage, i wattage being delivered to the connected PD.
6.3. Using the Step Button
El PAS button on the TC-NTP1 allows you to cycle through the displayed readouts (voltage, amperage, i wattage). Pressing the button repeatedly will switch between these values. You can also press and hold the button to lock the display on a specific readout for continuous monitoring.

8. Solució De Problemes
- Sense pantalla/alimentació: Ensure the PoE source is active and providing power. The TC-NTP1 is battery-free and draws power from the PoE connection. Verify the Ethernet cables are properly connected and functional.
- Lectures incorrectes: Double-check that the cables are securely connected to the correct PSE and PD ports. Ensure the PoE source and device are compatible with the tester's supported standards.
- Device Not Powering On (PD): If the PoE device connected to the PD port is not powering on, use T-mode to test the PSE directly to confirm it is supplying power correctly. Then, use I-mode to check the inline power delivery.
- Polarity Issues: The tester indicates polarity. If a "REV" (Reverse Polarity) LED illuminates, there may be an issue with the PoE source or cabling.
9. Manteniment
- Neteja: Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar el dispositiu. No utilitzeu netejadors líquids ni en aerosol.
- Emmagatzematge: Guardeu el dispositiu en un lloc fresc i sec, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes.
