    Abstract: Systems and methods for optically initiated information collection for network connected devices are provided. In one embodiment, a device comprises: at least one service port to connect a cable to the device; an optical information interface comprising: an optical information interface management function executed by a processor coupled to a memory; an optical information interface database that stores information associated with the device; and an optical emitter controller in communication with the optical information interface management function; wherein the optical information interface management function receives from the optical information interface database a set of information selected for optical broadcast; and wherein the optical emitter controller varies an optical output of at least one optical emitter to modulate the set of information selected for optical broadcast onto an optical signal generated by the at least one optical emitter.

    Abstract: A fiber optic tap system includes a first receiver module having an input port configured to receive an optical fiber. The first receiver module is operable to convert a received optical signal to an electrical signal. A first transmitter module is coupled to receive the electrical signal from the first receiver module and convert the received electrical signal to an optical signal. The first transmitter module has an output port for outputting the optical signal. A first tap module is coupled to receive the electrical signal from the first receiver module.

    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment is directed to an end node comprising a programmable processor configured to execute software and an ETHERNET network interface communicatively coupled to the programmable processor. The network interface is configured to couple the end node to a network. The ETHERNET network interface comprises a media access control device, an ETHERNET physical layer device, and a port to connect a cable to the network interface. The physical layer device comprises an integrated storage-device interface to communicate with a storage device associated with a connector attached to an end of the cable when connected to the network interface via the port. The software is configured to use the integrated storage-device interface to read information stored in the storage device and to communicate the read information over the network.
