Elevator Speech – describing project goals
We would like to determine what the most effective Ethernet Integrity Analyzer
would have. We understand that there are three crucial integrity checks, Time Domain
Reflectometry (TDR), Active Link Cable Diagnostic (ALCD), and Digital Spectrum
Analyzer (DSA) and the device will have three potential modes of power, PoE, DC input
supply or batteries. Is this accurate?
Transition:
-Is the TLK100 the critical piece of hardware for this project?
Opening Question / Ice Breaker
-What are your names and what do you do in the company?
3 Key Questions -2 probes for each
-What work has already been done on developing Ethernet integrity analyzers in TI?
-Could you explain more about the TLK100?
-What type of Microcontroller was used?
- How is power transmitted using Power-over-Ethernet?
-Could you explain how the PSE works?
-How would a device detect power on the receiving end?
