摘要:
A method in a power management module for supervision of a Power Sourcing Equipment, PSE, and a power management module adapted to supervise a PSE is provided. The PSE is adapted to provide power on an Ethernet cable. The power management module is connected to an Ethernet physical layer and a power source module within the PSE. The method comprises detecting a change in a power providing mode of the power source module. When the detected change indicates that the power source module has stopped to provide power, the method comprises switching off the Ethernet physical layer. When the detected change indicates that the power source module has started to provide power, the method comprises switching on the Ethernet physical layer
摘要:
The present invention relates to an interface and method for enabling interconnection of a host device and a small-formfactor pluggable module. The interface comprises a host device connector (52) arranged to receive a mating small-formfactor pluggable module connector (51) and a switching device (53, 54) connected to the host device connector and arranged to selectively switch at least one signal carried over the host device connector between at least two separate signal paths (56, 57) of the host device depending on a selected switching mode of the switching device.
