    Abstract: A computing device includes an optical network transceiver and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The optical network transceiver is to connect to an optical network and to generate an event indicating that an optical signal strength has attenuated below a threshold. The BIOS is to determine generation of the event by the optical network transceiver, and responsively detect occurrence of a potential optical network intrusion attack. In response to detecting occurrence of the potential optical network intrusion attack, the BIOS is to perform an action to protect the computing device from the potential optical network intrusion attack.

    Abstract: Input/Output port configurations using multiplexers are described herein. An example computing system includes a multiplexer having a first input, a second input, and an output. The computing system also includes a first channel connecting the first input to a first host controller, the first host controller to transfer data at a first speed, and a second channel connecting the second input to a second host controller, the second host controller to transfer data at a second speed higher than the first speed. The example computing system further includes a third channel connecting the output to a port, the port to receive a connector of an electronic device, and a line selector to, based on a type of the electronic device connected to the port, configure the multiplexer to electrically couple the output to the first input or the second input.
