摘要： In a network deploying a plurality of network devices with PSE capabilities, a UPS resource may be effectively shared among those network devices by selecting at least one network device to be “master” and transmitting information reflecting worst case power commitments from “slave” network devices to the at least one master network device so that the master network device may keep track of the worst case power commitments of the plural network devices as a group. This information is compared to the known capabilities of the UPS resource and, where a deficiency or near-deficiency exists, the situation is communicated to network management for responsive action.

摘要： Communications over a wired data telecommunications network between and among power sourcing equipment (PSE), powered devices (PDs), and the like, take place over the wired medium by modulating an inline power signal. Any suitable communications protocol may be used and any suitable modulation scheme can be used. Examples of information to be communicated include: changing power requirements or capabilities (higher or lower) and acknowledgements thereof (permitting finer power class gradation than available under existing standards); sensor data; wireless data converted to wired data; status signaling, and the like. Such communications may be used for a number of purposes including supporting redundant provision of services over a network.

摘要： A technique verifies a that a module is from an approved vendor. The technique involves obtaining vendor data and a first magic code from a module (e.g., a small form factor pluggable component), and generating a second magic code based on the vendor data. The technique further involves outputting (i) a magic code valid signal when the second magic code matches the first magic code, and (ii) a magic code invalid signal when the second magic code does not match the first magic code. Operation of a computerized device having the module can be based on the valid and invalid signals (e.g., a voltage level, a bit that is set or cleared, a value in a register, etc.). For example, a supplier of the electronic device can configure software running on the computerized device to disable the module if the first and second magic codes do not match.

摘要： A controller in PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) controls how to provision uninterruptible power through corresponding data ports (and cables) of the PSE to network devices. For example, the controller receives power profile information associated with the network devices indicating how to provision power to the network devices during a power failure such as when an uninterruptible power supply providing power to the power sourcing equipment runs on a battery rather than failed primary wall power. In response to detecting a power failure condition, the power sourcing equipment provisions power to the network devices based on the power profile information associated with the network devices. Consequently, the PSE can smartly provision power to more critical network devices while in a power failure mode rather than provision power to the network devices in the same way before and after occurrence of the power failure mode.

摘要： Techniques test a clock signal by comparing different portions of that clock signal to each other. Such techniques enable the detection of a clock signal having anomalies such as missing pulses or occasional delayed pulses. In one arrangement, a data communications device has a clock signal generator, processing circuitry and a test circuit, both of which are coupled to the clock signal generator. The clock signal generator provides a clock signal. The processing circuitry uses the clock signal to receive data elements on a set of input ports, and to transmit the data elements on a set of output ports. The test circuit includes a node that receives the clock signal, a comparison circuit that provides a comparison signal based on a comparison between the clock signal and a delayed copy of the clock signal, and an output circuit that provides a result signal based on the comparison signal.

摘要： Signals may be communicated between a video source and a video rendering device via and asymmetrical multi-rate Ethernet physical layer (PHY). The asymmetric multi-rate PHY may support multiple rates. The asymmetrical multi-rate Ethernet PHY may handle compressed and/or uncompressed, encrypted and/or unencrypted video signals and may handle audio/video bridging. One or more of the communicated signals may be modified by an echo cancellation operation, a near end cross talk (NEXT) cancellation operation, equalization, a far end cross talk (FEXT) cancellation operation and/or a forward error correction (FEC) operation. An aggregate communication rate may be evenly or unevenly distributed among one or more links coupling the video signal source to the video rendering device. A plurality of links coupling the video signal source to said video rendering device may also be aggregrated.
