Abstract:
Connecting a load device to a power supply is described. A connection to a load device is detected on a communication link, where the load device is in a first power state. In response to detecting the connection to the load device, a bias power source is enabled to supply bias power on the communication link to the load device. Power information of the load device is received over the communication link. Power is supplied to the load device, based on the power information, to place the load device in a second power state.
