A hot swap management device includes a bus buffer, a hot swap switch, and a controller. The bus buffer is selectively coupled to a host system management bus of a server. The hot swap switch is coupled to the bus buffer and a hardware expansion device. The controller is coupled to the bus buffer and the hot swap switch. When the hot swap management device is coupled to a board system management bus of the server, the controller assigns a hardware address to the bus buffer. A computational unit of the server controls the hardware expansion device through the host system management bus according to the hardware address.

Hardware resource expansion system capable of assigning hardware addresses automatically

A method for automatically establishing a wireless connection, a gateway device and a client device for internet of things (IoT) using the same are provided. According to the provided method, SSID of the gateway device can be composed of an encrypted access password and an index, so that the client device may identify the gateway device to be connected according to the index within the SSID string and acquire the encrypted access password from the SSID string. Therefore, the client device can decrypt the encrypted access password. Accordingly, the wireless connection between the client device and the gateway device can be automatically established since the client device acquires the access password from the SSID of the gateway device.

An identity verification method, an IoT gateway device, and a verification gateway device using the same are provided. According to the provided method, the IoT gateway device firstly establishes a look-up table including a valid MAC address list and a valid RSSI range of at least one valid client device. When the IoT gateway device receives the connection request sent from the client device, the IoT gateway device may obtain the MAC address and a RSSI value of the client device according to the connection request and compare the received MAC address and the received RSSI value with the valid MAC address list and the valid RSSI range, so as to determine whether the client device is the valid client device.

Identity verification method, internet of thins gateway device, and verification gateway device using the same

An automatic serial signal detecting and transceiving device and related system and method are provided for detecting whether a connected initiator unit is using an inter-integrated circuit (IC) interface protocol or a serial general purpose input/output (SGPIO) interface protocol. The device includes an input interface, connected to the initiator unit, and a control unit. A load pin of the input interface services either the SLoad signal line of an SGPIO bus, or the Reset signal line of an IC bus. As the device is connected to different initiators, the control unit monitors the load pin for a trigger signal, thereby automatically detecting the interface protocol in use, and processes and transceives data in accordance with the detected interface protocol. The control unit also controls a light-emitting diode (LED) based on the detected interface protocol and data transmitted in accordance with the detected interface protocol.
