    摘要: An electronic device is described that includes an enclosure defining an internal volume and external surfaces, a connector interface comprising a plurality of conductors exposed at an external surface, and a memory and computer processor(s) disposed in the internal volume. The electronic device supports the connection of any one of a plurality of different types of external devices to the connector interface. The computer processor(s) receive, at a first conductor, a signal that distinguishes which one of the plurality of different types of external devices is currently connected to the connector interface. The computer processor(s) access, based on the received signal, a data structure in a storage of the memory that identifies at least one of a plurality of different communication protocols to use. The computer processor(s) assign one or more second conductors to communicate according to the at least one identified communication protocol.

    摘要: A gateway device for providing a dynamic network activation and/or handover is disclosed herein. The gateway device may activate on a first network associated with a primary network subscription identifier and determine to switch to a secondary network associated with a secondary network subscription identifier. The gateway device may disconnect from the first network and activate on the secondary network. The gateway device may access a cached list of networks for the primary network subscription identifier and scan for available networks while active on the secondary network. Based at least in part on the scan, the gateway device may determine that a second network of the cached list of networks is available. In response, the gateway device can disconnect from the secondary network and connect to the second network.
