Hi,
The issue we are facing it we are allocating power budget per port based on PD'S class.
class 1 4W
class 2 7W
class 3 15.5W
class 4 30W
But due to this,we are running out of total PSE power budget because actual power consumption is less but power allocated is higher (e.g a class 4 PD has been allocated 30W but consuming only 3.9 W).We have 270W power budget and by connecting 9 class 4 PDs,our power budget is exhausted whereas actual power consumption is only 4*9=36W.
So,we wanted to configure power budget not based on class of PD but as per our wish,we want to set power limit on a port,can we do so?can we set this using power policy register so that if PD connected exceeds that power configured,it should power off?
This is an urgent thing so pls take this on priority.
I will simplify the requirement.
Let's say a class 4 PD is connected so as per class,we can allocate 30W.
User wants to allocate only 5W as PD is actually consuming 4W ,what are the steps we can follow to do so?
Also,pls throw some light is it valid thing to do as per the protocol?
