    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for identifying ports on a power distribution board. In one aspect, the power distribution board is configured to output a plurality of signals from a plurality of ports, so that each of the output signals is different with respect to at least one signal characteristic from the other signals. In another aspect a table is provided that relates port identifiers to values of the signal characteristic. A server measures the value of the signal characteristic for a signal that is fed to the server by the power distribution board and identifies the port that outputs the signal by consulting the table.

    Abstract: An apparatus for providing telemetry information of monitored equipment is disclosed. The apparatus may store a first set of application mappings and a second set of application mappings. The first set of application mappings may be established when equipment to be monitored is connected to the disclosed apparatus. When connected, the processor of the disclosed apparatus may instantiate a monitoring application, which may request a communication port number for communicating telemetry information received from the equipment to be monitored. The application mappings may store an association of the instantiated application and its corresponding communication port number. The apparatus may also establish a common communication interface for communicating with the various monitoring applications based on the stored application mappings. Thus, a client device need only communicate with the common communication interface instead of each of the monitoring applications separately.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided wherein a server is powered by a battery connected to a charging circuit. The voltage output by the battery is monitored and when it falls below a threshold, a determination is made that the battery is being depleted. In response to the determination, the server is brought into a reduced power consumption state or a data saving state.

    Abstract: An apparatus for managing telemetry sensor controllers identified by their communication port identifiers is disclosed. The apparatus may include a memory that stores telemetry sensor controller mappings, where a telemetry sensor controller mapping associates an equipment identifier for a telemetry sensor controller with a communication port identifier, and equipment identifier mappings, where an equipment identifier mapping associates an equipment identifier with a telemetry monitoring application. The apparatus may detect a connection with a telemetry sensor controller and receive an equipment identifier. The apparatus may then instantiate a telemetry monitoring application for managing the connected telemetry sensor controller by accessing the plurality of equipment identifier mappings with the received equipment identifier, where the telemetry monitoring application may instruct the connected telemetry sensor controller to perform a requestable operation.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for initializing electrical devices based on a voltage level. The voltage level may be modified to a particular setting based on the availability of power supply components, such as AC to DC rectifiers. Depending upon the availability of the power supply components, a control system may alter output voltage to a particular level. The components receiving power may be coupled to voltage dividers, where the voltage dividers are configured to modify an input voltage to cause or prevent the input voltage from rising above an initialization level for the particular component. The output voltage may be set by the control system such that a number of components that experience a voltage rise above an initialization threshold correspond to the number of available power supply components.
