Re: [802.3af] Late comment




Roger-

What I beleive we are missing is that if you tie all of the "GROUNDS" 
together in a PSE
AND
If you put a voltmeter between "hot" leads from 2 different PSEs,
then is the max voltage between the leads (fault conditions included):
         VportMax
         VportMax - VportMin
         Zero
         2 X VportMax

I contend that any answer above except [2 X VportMax] is OK
and
We currently have no text to preclude  [2 X VportMax].

It was agreed in Vancouver that this is a problem.

I would happy if you could point to text that would prove me wrong.

Geoff
