Re: [802.3_4PPOE] Your proposal for Single-signature definition in http://www.ieee802.org/3/bt/public/nov17/stover_02_1117.pdf
Hi Lennart,
1. Please see in my mail below that I say the the current injection method will not work if we are looking for non 25K signature. I know that voffset will be change but the problem is that nobody checks for this or care about it especially when PSE is testing for valid signature i.e. 25K YES OR NO since we are doing differential test in which Vofsset is canceled.
2. As for using it (Voffset ) for the PD definition it may be possible if it was defined clearly that this is the intent and a clear pass/fail criteria was define which is not the case. That is why the proposed text for current will not work.
3. We still working on the text (me and Mike) to fix this.

Hi Yair,
But it does work...
If a voltage is applied to the corrupting pairset, a single-signature PD will "not show a valid detection signature" because Rdetect will be outside the limits of Table 145-21.
If a current is applied to the corrupting pairset, a single-signature PD will "not show a valid detection signature" because Voffset will be outside of the limits of Table 145-21.
Both corrupting methods are viable.
Kind regards,
Lennart
