Patent number: 10514739Abstract: In one embodiment, a connection is maintained between a pair of ethernet ports that have circuitry connected in series with the ports and receiving power-over-ethernet (PoE) from one of the ports, by providing a controllable bypass circuit coupled to the pair of ethernet ports in parallel with the circuitry receiving power-over-ethernet, sensing a preselected condition, and opening and closing the bypass circuit in response to the presence or absence of the preselected condition. Power sourcing equipment (PSE) may supply the one of the ports with power over ethernet, and the circuitry may transports data between the pair of ethernet ports. The circuitry may also supply the switch with a control signal in response to the detection of the preselected condition.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2016Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Accedian Networks Inc.Inventors: Claude Robitaille, Patrick Ostiguy, Nicolas Cote, Steve Rochon, Dominique Bastien
