Embodiment
What Fig. 2 represented the embodiment of the invention passes through the flow chart of Ethernet to outside power devices method.At first, in step 201, detect the state of the mode key (Mode key) of switch, to determine whether switch enters the Power over Ethernet pattern, and the number of times that is pressed in the given time at step 203 judgment model key, in the present embodiment, when mode key the scheduled time (for example, be pressed 1s) after twice, then switch enters the Power over Ethernet pattern.
Replacedly, mode key also can be set enter the Power over Ethernet pattern under other states, for example, the time of pressing mode key enters the Power over Ethernet pattern when surpassing the scheduled time.Or enter the Power over Ethernet pattern by modification to switch in house software module, for example,, promptly enter the Power over Ethernet pattern after the defining mode key is pressed, and replace the pattern of pressing mode key in the prior art and entering duplex state by revising software module.
In step 205, detect the power supply state of each port of switch, if port is in power supply state, generally the powering mode of this port is not changed, cause damage with the power receiving equipment of avoiding port is connected.So, in step 217, write down the supply lines preface of port, and judge whether that in step 204 power supply state of all of the port all finishes after testing, if inspection finishes, then return, and continue the state of monitoring mode key in step 201; If check as yet to finish, then get back to step 205 and continue next port is carried out the power supply state detection.
Replacedly, in another embodiment, also can just reset to described at the port of power supply state, promptly stop the charged state of described power supply port, thereby can change the power receiving equipment that port connects, and as following steps: detect power receiving equipment connection and type, switching supply lines preface, so that change its powering mode.
If port is in not power supply state,, detects this port and whether connected power receiving equipment then in step 209.Detection to power receiving equipment is by load a test voltage on the network cable, usually (this small voltage must guarantee in safe range according to power receiving equipment to add a small voltage on holding wire and dead pair respectively, in order to avoid damage hardware circuit), when having connected the network equipment on the port, flow through with regard to the electric current that has predetermined size in corresponding signal lines or the idle line.Whether at first, judging whether has electric current to flow through in holding wire He in the idle line, if all do not have electric current to flow through in two circuits, then thinking does not have power receiving equipment to be connected to this port or what be connected to this port is the non-Ethernet power receiving equipment; When all having electric current to flow through in two circuits, think that then abnormal conditions such as short circuit appear in this port or the power receiving equipment that is connected on this port.This is because a port can only be operated under a kind of powering mode, therefore if the situation that all has electric current to flow through in holding wire and idle line thinks that then this port breaks down.
For example, of the present invention by Ethernet in the device of outside power devices, when having the electric current that is not less than 50ma to flow through in holding wire or the idle line, think that port has correspondingly connected holding wire or idle line power receiving equipment.When in holding wire and idle line, all not having electric current greater than 50ma to flow through, think that then this port does not connect power receiving equipment or power receiving equipment cuts out; When holding wire and idle line all have electric current above 250ma to flow through, think that then this port or port device are in abnormalities such as short circuit.
If it is unusual to judge that this port or power receiving equipment occur, then in step 223, switch sends alarm signal to the outside, for example by the indicator light on the switchboard panel to the outside send flash signal or by other sound, the light mode indicates, perhaps send warning message, and cut off power supply simultaneously to the power receiving equipment that is connected by Ethernet other nodes on network.
Realize Power over Ethernet, connection device must correspondingly be supported.If terminal equipment is not supported corresponding Power over Ethernet mode, power supply unit is powered by force to it, occurs the situation that causes power receiving equipment to damage possibly.So power supply unit must detect power receiving equipment.
Therefore, in step 211, if it is normal to determine to have connected power receiving equipment and equipment and port working at port, the power receiving equipment that then needs further to detect the power receiving equipment that this equipment is supporting signal line powering mode or support the idle line powering mode.The voltage (this voltage should guarantee in the range of voltage values to power receiving equipment safety) that detects the power receiving equipment type and also be by idle line or holding wire being applied pre-sizing carries out, preferably, can by with step 209 in detect the identical voltage that is loaded when power receiving equipment connects and detect.For example, the power receiving equipment of supporting signal line powering mode can be associated in a resistance string at predetermined Standard resistance range in the circuit after being connected to port at present, therefore, when described voltage is loaded on the holding wire, can produce an electric current in predetermined magnitude range.If after loading described voltage on the holding wire, from output loop, measure electric current (for example 50ma-150ma) output of pre-sizing, think that then the equipment that switch connected is the power receiving equipment of holding wire power supply type; Equally,, from the output loop of idle line, measure the electric current output of pre-sizing, think that then this connection device is the power receiving equipment of idle line power supply type if after loading above-mentioned voltage on the idle line.
In step 213, if external equipment is a power receiving equipment of supporting the idle line power supply, then the supply line with this port switches to idle line, and voltage is exported from idle line.If external equipment is the power receiving equipment of supporting signal line power supply, then the supply line of port is switched to holding wire in step 215.Can power up power receiving equipment afterwards.
With an instantiation concrete steps that this power supply unit detects are described below, described detection comprises:
Present the voltage of 2.8V to 10V to each bar down link, and the electric current of detection line in real time.After power receiving equipment is connected to ethernet link, the detection resistance of a resistance between 23.75 to 26.25 kilo-ohms can be connected in series in the link in the power receiving equipment, cause the electric current of whole piece link to change, be equivalent to power receiving equipment and sent an application power supply signal to power supply unit.So power supply unit is confirmed to have power receiving equipment to be connected on the ethernet link and is being applied for power supply.By measurement, can calculate the resistance that detects resistance to electric current.Wherein, if detect resistance between 12 to 23.75 kilo-ohms or between 26.25 to 45 kilo-ohms, power supply unit will correctly detect power receiving equipment, but does not think that power receiving equipment at the application power supply, can not carry power supply to power receiving equipment yet.And if resistance value is less than 12 kilo-ohms or greater than 45 kilo-ohms accordingly, power supply unit will can correctly not discerned power receiving equipment, and will send an alarm signal this moment.
Because the power receiving equipment kind is numerous, also there is very big difference in the power that needs, so preferably, power supply unit need carry out optionally power classification operation to power receiving equipment, so that determine to distribute the power supply of much power to power receiving equipment.After the power level of determining power receiving equipment, power supply unit is increased to setting voltage (for example 48 volts) with supplying voltage, and beginning is sent to the power supply of power receiving equipment.
