Abstract:
A system and method for measuring a cable resistance in a power over Ethernet (PoE) application. A short circuit module in a powered device is designed to produce a short circuit effect upon receipt of a cable resistance detection voltage. The cable resistance detection voltage can be designed to be greater than a voltage for detection or classification and less than a voltage for powering of the powered device. The measurement of the current at a time when a short circuit effect is produced at the powered device enables a calculation of the actual resistance of the cable on a given PoE port.
Abstract:
A system comprises a plurality of nodes coupled together via a switching device. Each node comprises a processor coupled to a memory. Migration logic in the switching device is configured to migrate segments of each memory to the switching device.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, the present invention provides a distributed monitoring, evaluation and routing (“DiMER”) system that provides active management of a data-network based telephony networks. Such a system, and data-network-based telephony networks incorporating the same, advantageously route calls to meet call-quality standards and/or cost goals, among other targets. To meet such quality standards, the system periodically obtains call-related data, analyzes the data, and revises call routing, as appropriate, by shifting or reallocating call traffic between available terminating gateways (based on their performance).
Abstract:
An output buffer circuit is disclosed that operates in low voltage applications but can be programmed using standard programmers at high voltage. The output buffer circuit provides for detecting a program verify logic signal from the programmer and slowing the output driver transistors when that signal is detected. In so doing, the noise problems associated with the higher voltages of programming a EPROM device are eliminated while at the same time allowing the output buffer circuit to operate at the required performance levels during normal operation.
