Scope
This part of IEC 62087 series specifies procedures for measuring the power consumption of Small Network Equipment (SNE) while in an idle state. It defines the interfaces that shall be active and connected for this test procedure and is written with the intent of addressing current and future devices that qualify as a SNE.
This document does not define how an SNE is placed into an idle state.
This document covers the configuration of three aspects to conduct testing: the SNE device, test environment and the Test Client(s). A Small Network Equipment device could be any device including, but not limited to, the following WAN and LAN interfaces: DOCSIS Cable Modem, DSL Modem, Optical Network Termination (ONT) Device, Ethernet, MoCA, and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11).
Purpose
Audio, video and related equipment is frequently internet connected and related systems in homes or at offices rely for necessary data transmission on Small Network Equipment (SNE). This new part 8 of the IEC 62087 series will help to determine the power consumption of SNE in the strive for energy efficient systems.
The IEC 62087 series specifies the general conditions and procedure for determining the power consumption of audio, video and related equipment. The specific conditions and procedures for specific types of equipment are specified in the parts as of IEC 62087-3. IEC 62087-2 specifies signals and media that may be required to determine the power consumption of some types of equipment.
