LTC4292 operation in undervoltage lockout

Thread Summary

The user asked if the LTC4292 can be manually commanded to turn on a port when VEE is below the undervoltage lockout threshold (-25V). The final answer states that this is not possible if the LTC4292 is in UVLO. For lower VEE voltages, the LTC9101-1/LTC9103 is recommended due to its lower VEE UVLO threshold.

The LTC4292 can be commanded over the control interface to turn on a port manually, without proper detection/classification.  

If VEE is below the undervoltage lockout threshold (typ. -25V), can I still command the port to turn on manually.  I understand proper 802.3 detection/classification will not work, but can I turn on the the output FET manually if VEE is -20V?
