Abstract: A networking device includes a chassis, a port located on the chassis, a port configuration display located on the chassis, and a plurality of port configuration buttons located on the chassis. A port configuration engine is included in the chassis and is coupled to each of the port, the port configuration display, and the plurality of port configuration buttons. The port configuration engine is configured to provide a current Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) assignment for the port for display on the port configuration display. When the port configuration engine determines that a first port configuration button of the plurality of port configuration buttons has been actuated at least once, the port configuration engine modifies the current VLAN assignment for the port to provide a modified VLAN assignment for the port, and provides the modified VLAN assignment for the port for display on the port configuration display.

Abstract: System and techniques for cyber-physical system defense are described herein. Sensor disagreements between a plurality of sensors over time can be sampled. Cluster analysis on the sampled sensor disagreements can be performed. A deviation indication can be provided in response to the cluster analysis resulting in disagreement density beyond a threshold.

Abstract: Methods for operating a call center. In one example implementation, a call center maintains personal profiles of a number of clients of a service provided by the call center. At least some of the personal profiles include contact information for one or more entities designated by the respective clients for receiving information about the respective clients. A text-based electronic emergency notification message is received via an electronic network from a communication device associated with a particular one of the clients. The personal profile of the particular client includes contact information for one or more entities designated by the particular client for receiving information about the particular client from the call center. A notification that the communication device associated with the particular client received the text-based electronic emergency notification message is forwarded to one or more of the entities designated in the personal profile of the particular client.

Abstract: Portable visitor stations that are easy to set up are disclosed. Portable visitor stations, including a visitor application stored on a portable computer may be set up for a facility by sending a location at which the portable computer is to be located at to a visitor processing service and sending a list of contacts associated with the facility to the visitor processing service. In some embodiments, the portable visitor station may be set up exclusively by sending only the received location and the received list to the visitor processing service.
