Re: [8023-POEP] Solved another problem with DS



Hi all,

 

I have few issues with the problem and solution suggested in the above presentation.

 

1. How often a PD is moved from a port to other port?

    According the experience in my environment, the level of changes are low.

    The major part of installation done by the IT manager and configure by him.

    If a change is required it is easy and quick service to give and handle.

    Hence, turning off the af-endspan port is valid solution which is not required added cost and complexity to the standard.

 

    I am planning to check how it is in other organization however if swapping PDs is seldom required or it is not the usual case then I don’t care to call IT

    manager and not mandate additional hardware on the PSE.

 

2. Regarding the suggested solution:

    Adding a resistor + switch is more complex issue then shown.

    The PSE on alternative B required to drive the power to the at PD while disabling the alternative A path.

    If the PSE is environment B PSE then in order to keep isolation between the twp channels the cost is to high to bare.

    If it is environment A then it is the same ground which is easier but it required added cost of a switch (80-100V technology) with very low leakage or very high impedance >>2M which is an issue during detection and ac disconnect operation. Those who has experience in designing af chips probably understand this problems and sensitivity.

 

3. I believe that the first valid question as presented in slide 6 "if we would happy ..etc" is the first one for us to answer prior to add additional requirements followed by additional hardware to the PSE which may be on other "ground" or common point.

 

I will be happy for plug and play solution if it cost nothing and not affecting current experience and implementations of detection and ac-disconnect hardware and software.

Guys,

 

Here is another update, in case we want to go over it at the classification adhoc tomorrow morning.  I made quite a few improvements.
