    摘要: A method of seamlessly scaling multiple network appliances in an appliance based network. The disclosed method allows a network to automatically utilize the resources of one or more additional appliances without performing extensive installation or calibration routines. In addition, the method includes assigning a new appliance a particular role and sub-role designation such that it is used in the most effective manner to serve the particular needs of the network in which the new appliance is being connected. The new appliance can be used as an expansion appliance to provide additional data storage capabilities, a mirroring appliance, which provides backup data storage capabilities, and/or a range extension appliance that extends the wireless communication range of the existing appliance.

    摘要: A service distribution system configured to provide initial and follow-up services to a local device over a distributed data connection. Initial services include downloading software packages and installing them on the device that is remote with respect to the service distribution system. Follow-up services include subscribing to receive updates or notifications about a particular product when they become available. The system analyzes the hardware resources available on the remote device in order to only offer services that are compatible with the remote device's resources. In addition, the system has the ability to analyze the software and hardware resources available on the remote device and suggest available services that would enhance the already existing resources on the remote device. The system is configured to receive new software from an outlet that would enable it to offer new services.

    摘要: A system, method and software are provided that install a custom configuration profile on one or more target devices, which may be hardwired or wireless devices, and which include personal data assistants, mobile telephones, laptop computers and desktop computers. The custom configuration profile includes a user-specified combination of applications, data, protocols, and policies, suited to a particular target device, and selected in accordance with the desires and requirements of a particular user or group of users. The custom configuration profile can be installed on new devices or on devices that have suffered a catastrophic failure and require reconfiguration. Further, the custom configuration profile is configured to be installed automatically on a target device with little or no involvement on the part of the user, and the installation can be implemented by wireless or hardwire connections between the target device and the backup device where the custom configuration profile is initially stored.

    摘要: Delivery tickets that include data and a checksum are used to authenticate incoming electronic messages on behalf of a user. The delivery ticket is located in a field in the envelope portion or in a header in the content portion of outgoing electronic messages. A bounce message or a reply message generated by a remote computer in response to the outgoing electronic message includes the delivery ticket. When the bounce message or the reply message is received by an authentication server associated with the user, the delivery ticket is authenticated to determine whether to deliver the incoming message to the user. The delivery ticket is initially validated if a checksum regenerated by applying a private key to the data of the delivery ticket is the same as the checksum included in the delivery ticket. The validation process also includes determining whether the delivery ticket complies with rules that specify the duration of time of the validity or the number of times that the delivery ticket can be used.

    摘要: A bus arbitration algorithm using round robin and variable packet counts. In addition, each node is assigned a maximum packet size which can be adjusted by the operating system. The round robin determines which node will be granted the bus based on priority on a serial wrap-around list. The packet count is one factor in determining how long the node granted the bus may use it. The maximum packet size is a second factor in determining the permitted duration on the bus.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for conveniently diagnosing and conveying to a user the cause of a catastrophic failure during POST of a non-booting PC is described. In one embodiment, when an ID code identifying a POST procedure is written to port 80h, the ID code is also written to a POST code field in a non-volatile memory device. If the PC “hangs” prior to completion of POST, there will be a non-zero byte in the POST code field identifying which POST procedure resulted in the hang. Accordingly, if during boot-up of the PC, a non-zero byte is detected in the POST code field, the ID code will be beeped to the user to identify the POST procedure that caused the PC to hang. If POST completes successfully, the POST code field is set to zero and POST continues through the normal sequence. In an alternative embodiment, after the ID code identifying the next POST procedure to be performed has been written to port 80h and to the POST code field, a timeout value is added to a watchdog timer, at which point the POST procedure is initiated. If the watchdog timer times out, the PC will automatically re-boot. Upon re-boot, if the value stored in the POST code field is non-zero, the POST code field value will be beeped as a message to the user, as described above.

    摘要翻译: 描述了用于在非启动PC的POST期间方便地向用户诊断和传送灾难性故障的原因的方法和装置。 在一个实施例中,当将识别POST过程的ID代码写入端口80h时,ID代码也被写入非易失性存储器件中的POST代码字段。 如果PC在POST完成之前“挂起”,则在POST代码字段中将有一个非零字节,用于标识哪个POST过程导致挂起。 因此,如果在PC启动期间,在POST代码字段中检测到非零字节,则ID代码将被提示给用户以识别导致PC挂起的POST过程。 如果POST成功完成,则POST代码字段设置为零,POST会继续通过正常的顺序。 在替代实施例中,在将要执行的下一个POST过程的ID代码写入端口80h和POST代码字段之后,将超时值添加到看门狗定时器,此时POST过程被启动。 如果看门狗定时器超时,PC将自动重新启动。 重新启动时,如果POST代码字段中存储的值不为零,则POST代码字段值将作为消息发送给用户,如上所述。
