4. You will now see the Link test screen, the purpose of this screen is to show you the Link metrics that the PFM900 can read. This screen indicates (from right to left):

  • The speed you are connected at (10/100/1000 mbps)
  • The amount of data in and out of the IP Camera
  • The health of the connection (represents signal over distance of cable)
  • The (Blue) PSE which is the PoE output port or (below is Green) PD which is the PoE input (both are for data)
  • At the end is a Voltage and Wattage indicator.
