摘要： A power controller for power sourcing equipment in a distributed power network provides power down policies and priority in the event of a power supply failure. The power down priority and policy permits implementation of a rapid decrease in the power demand of the distributed power network to avoid overload of a backup power supply. The priority may be derived based on the relative position of port information in a linked list. Devices associated with a high priority can remain powered in response to a main power supply failure, while lower priority devices can be rapidly powered down to reduce the overall load demand on the backup power supply. The ability to configure ports on the basis of priority and available policies provides a flexible and simple implementation of a response in the event of a main power supply failure.

摘要： A telecommunication apparatus and method for providing packets to at least one of a first and a second network are described. A telephone set connects the first network to the second network. In one embodiment, the telephone set includes two MAC devices. Each MAC device is in electrical communication with one of the two networks via a communication path. In another embodiment, a packet switching device provides the separate communication paths to the two networks. The telephone set forwards packets received from one network to the other network, generates packets from signals locally inputted into the telephone set and forwards such generated packets to at least one of the networks, and performs actions prescribed by packets received by and addressed to the telephone set. Packets addressed to the telephone set may or may not be forwarded.

摘要： A connector assembly for protecting against cable discharge with respect to static charges that may accumulate on cables and other conductors. The connector assembly comprises a modular plug that mates with a modular jack. The modular jack comprises a plurality of resilient contacts that connect to rigid contacts on the modular plug when the plug and jack mate. The modular jack also supports a grounding conductor such that the jack contacts connect to ground when the jack and plug are unmated. As the plug and jack begin to mate, the jack contacts connect a ground potential to the plug contacts, thereby discharging to ground any static charge that may be stored on the cable. As the jack and plug continue to mate, the plug contacts disconnect the jack contacts from the grounding conductor. When the jack fully mates with the plug, cable conductors connect to an electronic circuit via the jack and plug contacts. The grounded contacts of a jack will steadily prevent charges from accumulating on cables or other conductors connected to the jack as long as the jack remains unmated. In a first embodiment, an electromagnetic shield, which connects the grounding conductor to a ground potential, covers the jack body. In a second embodiment, each of a plurality of grounding conductors connects to a different jack contact.

摘要翻译： 连接器组件，用于防止相对于可能积聚在电缆和其它导体上的静电荷的电缆放电。 连接器组件包括与模块化插座配合的模块化插头。 模块化插座包括多个弹性触点，当插头和插孔配合时，连接到模块插头上的刚性触点。 模块化插座还支持接地导体，使得当插孔和插头未啮合时，插座触点连接到地。 当插头和插座开始配合时，插座触点将接地电位连接到插头触点，从而将可能存储在电缆上的静电充电到地面。 当插座和插头继续配合时，插头触点将插座触点与接地导线断开。 当插座与插头完全配对时，电缆导体通过插孔和插头触点连接到电子电路。 只要千斤顶保持不动，千斤顶的接地触点将稳定地防止电荷积聚在连接到千斤顶的电缆或其他导体上。 在第一实施例中，将接地导体连接到接地电位的电磁屏蔽罩覆盖插座体。 在第二实施例中，多个接地导体中的每一个连接到不同的插座触点。
