摘要： A system and method for storing adapter card Option ROM BIOS extensions on the system's DASD and, more particularly, on a partition of the DASD that is generally inaccessible to the operating system. The system may partition the system DASD into a user partition and a hidden partition where the hidden partition is preferably inaccessible to the operating system. BIOS extensions files are stored in the hidden partition. The system BIOS, when executed, identifies the peripheral devices on the system and interrogates the hidden partition for BIOS extension files corresponding to each of the identified devices. If the hidden partition contains a BIOS extension file corresponding to an identified peripheral device, the file is verified for authenticity. If the verification completes successfully, the BIOS extension file is copied into shadow RAM and control is passed to it. In one embodiment, each BIOS extension file are downloaded to the system's DASD using a standards-based update process that is independent of the vendor or adapter card type.

摘要： A data processing system and method are disclosed for permitting only preregistered client computer hardware to access a service executing on a remote server computer system. A log-in token is established including a unique identifier which identifies a particular client computer hardware. The client computer hardware logs-on to the server computer system. Subsequent to the client computer hardware logging-on to the server computer system, the client computer hardware attempts to access the service. During the attempt, the client computer hardware transmits the log-in token to the server computer system. The server computer system utilizes the unique identifier included within the log-in token to determine if the client computer hardware is registered to access the service. In response to a determination that the client computer hardware is registered to access the service, the server computer system permits the client computer hardware to access the service. In response to a determination that the client computer hardware is not registered to access the service, the server computer system prohibits the client computer hardware from accessing the service.

摘要： A method of asset control and workstation computer deployment that utilizes a dual port electronic memory identification RFID tag to hold serial number and hardware and software configuration profiles as well as user information. The RFID tag is mapped into the workstation computer memory space and can also be read and written by radio frequency signalling through a wired plug and access flap in a shipping carton. Serial numbers and MAC address is stored on the tag by the manufacturer. User information, workstation profile and software image information is stored onto the tag while the computer is being received for forwarding to the final workstation destination without the need to unpack and power up the computer. The information stored on the tag is used to allow automated system configuration and software downloading to the computer.

摘要： A network includes a plurality of wall plates, each of the wall plates couples a network resource such as a computer or a network attached device to the network and includes an RFID circuit to detect proximate devices having an RFID tag. The proximate devices can be network attached devices or non network attached devices such as desks, phones, and artwork. Logic is included within each wall plate which includes wall plate physical location information. The logic is designed to respond to a broadcast signal. In so doing, the physical location of any resource can be determined. The physical location of all known resources are provided to an inventory application in the network, thereby allowing network administrators and users to remotely determine the physical location (room, floor, building, etc.) of any and all known resources attached to the network. Likewise, local computer users are able to identify the network resources located in their vicinity.

摘要： Apparatus and method provides dynamic load balancing of network bandwidth between access points in an 802.11 wireless LAN. The access point generates and monitors average bandwidth utilization of client devices connected to said access point. The average bandwidth utilization for each client device is aggregated and selected clients are forced to roam to other access points if the aggregate bandwidth is equal or exceeds a threshold.

摘要： A method and system for providing automatic notification of an end of lease of a computer system and its location within a computer network is disclosed. The computer network includes a server computer system and multiple client computer systems. A message is initially sent from the server computer system to all the client computer systems to inquire the lease status of each of the client computer systems. At each of the client computer systems, a determination is made as to whether or not a current date falls within a predetermined amount of days from the end of lease date for the client computer system. If the current date falls within the predetermined amount of days from the end of lease date for the client computer system, the physical location of the client computer system is obtained from a storage device located at an Ethernet wall plate to which the client computer system is attached. An alert message, which includes the physical location of the client computer system, is then generated by the client computer system. The alert message is subsequently transmitted from the client computer system to the server computer system.

摘要： A remote mobile unit (MU) including a radio device is provided with an ability to communicate through a LAN by remote association with an access point (AP) that is out of range for communication with the radio device of the remote MU. The remote MU transmits a quest frames that is received and retransmitted by one or more intermediate MUs until a connection is made with the AP. Each of the intermediate MUs adds an identifying address to the request, forming a path that is used in both directions to transmit a response from the AP to the remote MU and to transmit data between the AP and the MU.
