Title: Method and device for controlling activation of a terminal
Inventor: PASCAL LAGRANGE
IPC: H04L12/10
Filed: 2018-06-26
Abstract: A method 400 for controlling activation of a terminal (210, fig. 2) connected to a power source equipment (PSE) (120, fig. 1) in a power over cable system – such as a Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over Coax (PoC) system – comprises using a controller (220, fig. 2) which is configured to determine at S401 whether a voltage condition enabling the terminal to be activated is fulfilled. If it is fulfilled, at S402 a time delay is set after which the terminal is activated. The terminal and controller may form part of a powered device (PD) (110, fig. 1). The delay may be a random value, or may be set based on a terminal input voltage or a previous activation status of the terminal. The voltage condition may be that the terminal input voltage exceeds a threshold. The terminal may include analog or IP cameras, wireless access points or VoIP phones. The method may stagger the booting times of several devices attached to the PSE, thus preventing the shutting down of power to all devices due to overload.
