Abstract: An equipment mounting system for rack-mounted devices, such as patch panels, servers, etc., includes a frame that is configured to support equipment mounted thereto in a plurality of spaced-apart mounting locations. A plurality of RF antennas are secured to the frame in spaced-apart relationship such that each antenna is located at a respective mounting location. Each RF antenna is configured to activate and read information from an RFID tag attached to equipment mounted to the frame at a respective mounting location. A microprocessor is configured to selectively activate each antenna to identify the presence of an RFID tag in close proximity to the RF antenna and to read information from an RFID tag. The microprocessor is configured to receive RFID tag information such as equipment identification information and location information, from each antenna and transmit received RFID tag information to a remote device.

Abstract: Methods of automatically monitoring changes made to the communications connections into a server are provided. Pursuant to these methods, an identification is made that a change was made to the communications connections into the server. A determination is then made if the identified change complies with a set of pre-determined rules. If it is determined that the change does not comply with at least one of the rules in the set of pre-determined rules, then an alert is automatically issued.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products that notify technicians of work to be performed on a telecommunications system are provided. Interconnections with patch panel connector ports are monitored and a work order is generated in response to detecting the relocation of a patch cord connector at a patch panel. A technician automatically is notified that a work order has been generated. The technician is requested to acknowledge receipt of a work order notification. If an acknowledgement is not received within a predetermined period of time, an alternate technician is notified of the work order. A list of work orders are displayed on a display in communication with the telecommunications system. Displayed work orders can be filtered such that the a technician only views work orders he/she is authorized to view. A technician can select a displayed work order and retrieve additional information from a server managing the work orders.
