摘要： A dynamically configurable telephone 10 has an intelligent controller 42 which implements a communication protocol to receive commands and parameters and to transmit status indicative of particular phone features. Upon receipt of the parameters, the controller translates the parameters into configuration settings for the telephone and also stores the parameters in a non-volatile memory 44 if such is installed. The telephone accommodates many different country-specific requirements without hardware or firmware changes being made to the phone itself. The controller returns solicited or unsolicited status messages, or events, to a PABX 14 over a bit serial digital data link 12. An event can be indicative of error conditions, such as data packet errors, timeouts, or data storage errors. An event can also be a reply to a previously received command, such as configuration status, internal test results, a phone serial number or a controller firmware revision level.

摘要： Method for determining the baud rate of a data stream by comparison of captured data to known autobaud characters. Samples are received from the communication device and stored in memory until a set of the samples are accumulated. Then, a sample clock is divided in half and the odd numbered samples are compared to a set of known autobaud characters. If a match occurs, then the sample clock is assumed to be correctly synchronized with the incoming serial data stream. If a match does not occur, then the even samples are recirculated and eight more samples are collected. The sample clock is again divided in half and the odd numbered samples are compared to the set of known autobaud characters. If a match occurs, then the sample clock is assumed to be correctly synchronized with the incoming data stream. These steps are repeated until an autobaud character match is found or an error situation is determined.

摘要： A telephone includes means for switching the LEDs, on the face of the phone, between a normal operating mode in which the lights indicate the status of telephony features, such as mute or hold, to a diagnostic operating mode in which the LEDs indicate the status of the telephone's data communications signals. The modes are toggled by entry of a code on the telephone keypad or by way of a command from a workstation coupled to the telephone by way of a data communications port.

摘要： A system and method for recovering an inoperable automated robotic device in a data storage library having multiple cells for holding data storage media for use in storing data, and multiple automated robotic devices for use in retrieving data storage media from the cells. An engager is operatively connected to a first robotic device, and a receptacle adapted to receive the engager is formed in a second robotic device. When the second automated robotic device becomes inoperable, the first robotic devices is driven to a position near the second robotic device so that the engager is received by the receptacle and the first robotic device is operable to drive the second robotic device to a recovery location.

摘要： Some storage library systems use servo motors to control positioning of the hand assembly for removal of an ejected cartridge from a tape drive. This and other methods of positioning the hand assembly may be inaccurate or time consuming, and may inadvertently result in pushing the cartridge too far into the tape drive. The present invention provides a storage library system including a tape drive for receiving, reading and ejecting cartridges, wherein the tape drive has a front face. A locator plate is attached to the front face. The locator plate has a stall limit surface. A robotically-movable hand assembly is operative to retrieve ejected cartridges from the tape drive. The robotically-movable hand assembly includes a stall limit feature protruding therefrom for abutting against the stall limit surface to limit movement of the hand assembly toward the tape drive to properly space the hand assembly with respect to the tape drive for removing cartridges from the tape drive. Additionally, the hand assembly includes a z-limit feature and the locator plate includes a z-locator feature which is engageable with the z-limit feature to properly locate the hand assembly vertically with respect to the tape drive.
