Appl. No.:

10/259206

Inventors:

Ronald Jones - Barrington NH 03825
Scott Scheeler - Eliot ME 03903
Richard Graham - Derry NH 03038

International Classification:

H01R 1118

US Classification:

439482, 324761, 324754

Abstract:

The logic analyzer interface assembly connects to a unit under test (UUT). The interface assembly includes an interface board having interface contact points matching the pattern of the UUT contact points. The interface board is mounted to a transfer interface including a probe plate and multiple spring loaded probes extending through the probe plate. The probes contact the UUT contact points at one end and the interface contact points at the other end. When assembled, the UUT and interface assembly form a sandwiched testing assembly that can be inserted into a chassis to aid in approaching an âat speedâ observation opportunity.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 9, 707 2

Abstract:

Data is provided with location-based access control information. Access to the data at a physical location is then limited according to the location-based access control information. A physical location of a device accessing the data can be determined, and the limiting of the access is then according to the determined physical location. The data can be provided in encrypted form, and limiting access to the data includes enabling decryption of the data according to the physical location.

US Classification:

385139, 385 89, 385 92, 439490

Abstract:

A modular receptacle assembly includes integral optical indication. The receptacle assembly includes a module housing one or more receptacles configured to releasably receive, in an insertion direction, a leading portion of a modular plug. A light pipe having proximal and distal ends, is disposed in the footprint of the module. The proximal end is coupled to the receptacle, and the distal end is coupled to a light source. The proximal end is configured to radiate light onto the leading portion of a plug disposed within said receptacle. An actuator is configured to selectively operate the light pipe.

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

3703953, 370400

Abstract:

A method for location discovery in a data network includes receiving, at a first device, connection information from a neighboring network device and determining a physical location of the first device based on the connection information. The method can include receiving, at the first device, the physical location transmitted from the neighboring network device. The method can further include associating a level of trust with the physical location based on the neighboring network device. The first device be one of a variety of devices, such as a router, a switch, a network entry device, a firewall device, or a gateway.

International Classification:

G02B 6/36

US Classification:

385 75, 385 88, 385 89

Abstract:

A connector assembly, configured to releasably couple a socket assembly, includes zero or more data conductors. An optical pathway is configured to: receive an optical signal from an optical light source positioned within the socket assembly; and provide at least a portion of the optical signal to an optical light target positioned within the socket assembly.

Abstract:

A system and method that provides dynamic network policy management. The system enables a network administrator to regulate usage of network services upon initiation of and throughout network sessions. The system employs a method of identifying selectable characteristics of attached functions to establish static and dynamic policies, which policies may be amended before, during and after any session throughout the network based on the monitored detection of any of a number of specified triggering events or activities. Particular policies associated with a particular identified attached function in prior sessions may be cached or saved and employed in subsequent sessions to provide network usage permissions more rapidly in such subsequent sessions. The cached or saved policy information may also be used to identify network usage, control, and security. The system and method of the present invention provides static and dynamic policy allocation for network usage provisioning.

Abstract:

A system and method to respond to intrusions detected on a network system including attached functions and a network infrastructure. The system includes means for receiving from an intrusion detection function information about intrusions, a directory service function for gathering and reporting at least the physical and logical addresses of devices of the network infrastructure associated with the detected intrusions, and a plurality of distributed enforcement devices of the network infrastructure for enforcing policies responsive to the detected intrusions. A policy decision function evaluates the reported detected intrusions and makes a determination whether one or more policy changes are required on the enforcement devices in response to a detected intrusion. A policy manager function configures the distributed enforcement devices with the responsive changed policy or policies. Policy changes rules can vary from no change to complete port blocking on one or more identified enforcement devices associated with the detected intrusion, to redirecting the associated traffic including the intrusion and these policies may be modified or removed over time as warranted by network operation.

Abstract:

One or more trusted network devices within a data network infrastructure determine a physical location of a client device requesting access to the data network infrastructure. A trusted physical location is generated and associated with the client device. The approach can include determining whether a candidate network device is a trusted network device based on a likelihood that the candidate network device can be modified to provide false physical location data. The approach also can include determining a response for an access request by the client and controlling network resources provided to the client based on the trusted physical location.
