Lennart – This is a good improvement. There is one ‘shall’ however (which we discussed offline) that is written in so soft a way that it gets lost. All the other ones are written as “the PD shall.. xyz”. This
one is a tacked on clause at the end: The requested Class of the PD is the Class the PD advertises during Physical Layer classification, and represents the maximum power, as defined in Table 145–24 and Table 145–25, that a PD shall draw across all input voltages. I suggest the following: The requested Class of the PD is the Class the PD advertises during Physical Layer classification. The PD shall draw no more power across all input voltages than defined for the class it advertises during Physical Layer classification
in Table 145–24 and Table 145–25. This way the shall is clearly stated as an active requirement and not just tacked on at the end of a sentence, likely to get lost From: Yseboodt, Lennart [mailto:lennart.yseboodt@xxxxxxxxxxx]
Updated version attached, incorporating comments from Yair and Chad.
From: Chad Jones (cmjones) <cmjones@xxxxxxxxx> Mutual ID is the term we invented for AT and I think it is appropriate to keep it in BT. Additionally, classification is used
to establish mutual identification between the PSE and the PD to discover each others’ Type.
This text: The requested Class of the PD is the Class the PD advertises during Physical Layer classification, and represents the maximum power, as defined in Table 145–24 and Table 145–25,
that a PD shall draw across all input voltages. I had a similar comment and I agree with what you did here but I think you deleted a relevant piece of information: “The requested Class of the PD is the Class a PD advertises during
Physical Layer classification when connected to a Type 4, Class 8 PSE;”. The ‘connected to a Type 4, Class 8 PSE’ phrase struck me as odd at first but then it became clear that this is a way of saying request the max power on the physical layer. I think it
is important to leave in. So I would say add the phrase “when connected to a Type 4, Class 8 PSE” back to your sentence.

Some rectification and further cleanup attached. Comments welcomed. Kind regards, Lennart |
