  • Publication number: 20050160175
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a communication system, which is adapted to employ a HTTP as a transfer protocol, and enables the VoIP device to issue required provision-request documents in XML syntax to a provisioning server of an ITSP over the Internet, the provisioning server then verifies the identification thereof. If the verification is true, the provisioning server retrieves setting parameters required to configure the VoIP device from a user database, stores the parameters in a provision-response package written in XML syntax, and sends the package back to the VoIP device. Then, the VoIP device performs a configuration on itself based on the parameters and proceeds with a registration to a call agent of the ITSP automatically.

  • Publication number: 20050100007
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide method and apparatus for adapting a GBIC module to an Ethernet switch capable of outputting one of different voltages in which in a case of the GBIC module coupled to the Ethernet switch, a DC converter of the GBIC module is adapted to lower an input voltage thereof supplied by the Ethernet switch prior to boosting the lowered voltage to an operating voltage required by a GBIC logic circuit of the GBIC module without confirming whether the input voltage has the same value as the operating voltage. Thus, the present invention can prevent the GBIC module from not working due to low input voltage or being damaged due to high current when the GBIC module is coupled to the Ethernet switch.

  • Publication number: 20050040990
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a miniature monopole antenna for dual-frequency printed circuit board, which individually prints a printed wire, two radiators, and a metal grounding surface on a dielectric printed wire board to form a monopole antenna. Therefore, the antenna can be operated within the dual-frequency range as specified by the IEEE 802.11a protocol and the IEEE 802.11b protocol. The monopole antenna designed in this invention not only can receive dual-frequency signals, but also can reduce the occupying volume to about one half of that of the traditional inverted L-shaped monopole antenna, which can effectively reduce the volume of the wireless communication products and comply with the trend of the compact design.

  • Patent number: 6853624
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a propagation delay in a network trunk includes the step of calculating a time period Ti in a first network switch between sending a marker and receiving a trunk package acknowledgement marker from the second network switch, and a time period Tt in the second switch between receiving the trunk package and the marker and transmitting an acknowledgement marker containing the trunk package back to the first switch, the second switch appending the time period Tt to the acknowledgement marker before sending it back to the first switch. The time gap is read and a time delay caused by sending the trunk package on each channel is calculated. The second switch decodes the received trunk package and calibrates the propagation delay based on the time delay to determine a time gap between the packages in the same channel.
