Systems and methods described herein allow a configurable policy for managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) to be implemented by Power Sourcing Equipments (PSEs) across a network. The policy specifies a set of rules for prioritizing power distribution over Ethernet for the computer network. When Powered Devices (PDs) are connected via Ethernet cables to the PSEs, the PDs send identification information about themselves (e.g., device type and location) to the PSEs. The PSEs assign priority levels to the PDs by electronically comparing the identification information to the set of rules. When a present level of available power is insufficient to power all the PDs via PoE, the PSEs use the priority levels to determine which PDs to power down.

Dynamic network-wide coordinated management of power over ethernet

Systems and methods are provided for cloud controlled secure Bluetooth pairing for network device management. A method for a mobile device includes sending a Bluetooth pairing request to a network device that cannot connect to a network, wherein the network device responds to the Bluetooth pairing request by sending a challenge token; responsive to receiving the challenge token from the network device, sending the challenge token to a server, wherein the server responds to the challenge token by sending a response token, wherein the response token comprises a secure Bluetooth pairing key; and responsive to receiving the response token from the server, establishing a secure Bluetooth connection with the network device, comprising pairing with the network device using the secure pairing key.

A system may comprise a dock. The dock may comprise a front. The front may include a front side, wherein a plurality of connectors are disposed on the front side and wherein the plurality of connectors accept external cables, and a rear side, wherein the rear side includes a plurality of extenders and wherein each one of the plurality of extenders connects to one of the plurality of connectors. The dock may comprise a rear including an aperture to allow for insertion of a computing device, wherein the plurality of extenders correspond with and connect to one of a connector on the computing device.

Example implementations relate to smart bypass diode bridge rectifiers. For example, a device can include a power over Ethernet input. In some examples, the device can include a plurality of smart bypass diodes connected to the power over Ethernet input to form a bridge rectifier. In some examples, the device can also include a powered device connected to the bridge rectifier.

In some examples, a socket locking system can comprise a socket; a printed circuit board (PCB) card disposed in the socket; a first locking handle and a second locking handle to lock the PCB card in the socket; and a PCB retention band including: an elongated closed loop forming a first distal end and a second distal end opposite from the first distal end, wherein the first distal end is to contact the first locking handle and the second distal end is to contact the second locking handle; and a retention portion coupled to the elongated closed loop of material to contact a top surface of the PCB card to disposition the PCB card in the socket.

Printed circuit board retention bands

In some examples, an apparatus includes a connector of an electronic device including a locking tab, wherein the connector fits into a corresponding connector of a host computing device; an arm coupled to the locking tab; and an actuator, wherein the actuator in a first position depresses the collapsible arm and disengages the locking tab; and the actuator in a second position releases the collapsible arm and engages the locking tab.

Connectors with locking tab

The present disclosure discloses a method and a network device for advertising and profiling user location to unified communication suite in enterprise wireless environments. Specifically, a network device can determine a location of a first client device corresponding to a user. Based at least on the location of the first client device corresponding to the user, the network device can infer a status for the first user. Further, the network device can display, store and/or transmit the inferred status for the user on an enterprise wireless network. The status has not been explicitly indicated by the user.

Advertising and profiling user location to unified communication suite in enterprise wireless networks

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a network access device is described. The network access device includes a radio with a transmitter and receiver to transmit and receive network signals. The device also includes a detection engine to detect a request for association with the network access device. The device further includes a wake-up engine to selectively wake the network access device from a sleep mode when a request for association with the network access device is detected.

Waking network access devices based on requests for association

Example implementations relate to location-based network device operation. For example, a non-transitory machine-readable medium is described that stores instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to provide network permissions to a network device joining a network; responsive to acceptance of the network permissions, propagate a location policy to the network device; and modify an operating mode of the network device based on the determined location and the location policy.
