My mistake. The active pointers were fro cisco internal. However, if you go
to the ETSI web site www.etsi.org, click on Standards on line, and then
earch for TR 101 941 and then for ES 201 910 you can download both of the
documents. I am not sure if I can upload Cisco's copy (in fact, I am sure i
can't). But the documents are there so that is where you can get them.
Siorry about that ---- Bob

>>Subject: Line power for IP terminals (resend)
>>
>>Dear Colin
>>
>>Attached please find a draft specification: "Line power for
>IP terminals"
>>ES 201 910 V1.1.1 (work item DES/AT0020013 ) for your comment and
>>input(Iptermlinepowerd2.doc). I have taken the proposal that
>was discussed
>>and accepted at the March meeting and compiled it in the correct ETSI
>>format, adding what I could.
>>
>>I will appreciate it if you can have good solid look at the
>specification
>>and provide some comments. As you will see, there is still a number of
>>items outstanding and your input will be highly valued.
>Please take note
>>of the 'issues" paragraph at the end of the specification.
>>
>>If possible, I would like to have the document approved at
>the September
>>meeting. (Since the scope of this document is outside of my level of
>>expertise, I therefore will have to rely on your expertise.)
>>
>>About the Specification:
>>
>>The specification is based on the IEEE 802.3af draft 1.1, DTE
>Power via
>>the MDI (also attached) as decided in ETSI. As you will see, IEEE
>>specifies the power supply characteristics on the LAN side
>(PSE) as well
>>as the characteristics for the terminals (PD's) to be able to receive
>>power from the LAN. This was accepted "as is" in the last
>ETSI meeting.
>>
>>Additional to the above, the ETSI specification addresses a
>possible power
>>fail situation on the LAN side, which will leave the IP
>terminal without
>>power resulting in basic communication breakdown. (The scope
>of the IEEE
>>specification does not cover the reliability or
>interruptability of the
>>power supply to the terminal.) To achieve basic emergency
>communication
>>with a line powered IP terminal in the event of a power fail,
>the current
>>proposal is to specify i) limited (emergency) back up power
>for the LAN
>>ii) reduced power consumption for a limited number of "emergency" IP
>>terminals (to conserve the limited LAN power) and iii) a means of
>>communicating the switch over from normal to limited power (and visa
>>versa) to the terminals when the power failure (restoration) occurs.
>>
>>Main outstanding areas are:
>>Definition of messages to convey the different power states
>of the Line
>power.
>>Specification of the backup power when the normal LAN power
>supply fails.
>>
>>Please do not hessitate to call me or mail or fax.

>>Kind regards and thank in advance.
