Abstract: A system and a method are provided for enabling a user to connect a serial port of a device server to a serial device, query and capture data and settings pertaining to the serial device such that the device server can communicate and exchange data with the serial device without requiring customized programming. The device server may periodically query and capture user-specified data from the serial device. A poll configuration feature may be used to specify one or more commands which the device server will periodically query from the serial device. The response to each poll may be further sliced into a multiplicity of smaller portions according to user-specified filter rules. The captured data may be presented to other users online by way of a Web Manager, and the device server may establish machine-to-machine communications by way of XML and a Command Line Interface.

Abstract: A network device providing access to an external device by configuring the network device to control the flow of traffic from the external device to the network device. The flow control may include retrieving an IP address or port number from a bridged device and applying it to a stack stored in the memory of the network device so that the bridged device and network device share the same IP address.

Abstract: 2 Wireless devices capable of supporting multiple wireless configuration profiles are presented. A wireless device determines an environmental context, which is used to select a profile traversal method. A profile selection module configures itself to traverse available profiles according the traversals method to identify an acceptable profile. Once identified, the wireless device's communication port is configured to operate according to the profile.

Abstract: An asset management system is presented. The management system includes monitoring devices able to provide asset data across firewalls without requiring reconfiguration of the firewalls. The asset data pass through a forwarding service that instantiates a virtual tunnel comprising a communication channel between the monitoring devices and remote asset management engines. The asset management engines can also be located behind firewalls. As the management engines aggregate asset data, the engines can present one or more alerts via a management interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining when to switch wireless access points from a current wireless access point to a new wireless access point are disclosed. In various embodiments the systems and methods monitor a signal strength received from the current wireless access point, monitor a signal strength received from the new wireless access point and compare the signal strength received from the wireless access points. Switching from the current wireless access point to the new wireless access point can occur, for example, when the signal strength received from the new wireless access point is greater than the signal strength received from the current wireless access point by a first pre-determined value.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for a cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) chipset configured to be coupled to a legacy device whereby the legacy device may be remotely monitored, operated, or controlled. The chipset has just enough processing power to establish a cellular network connection. A client cellular interface and a cellular access point are supported by the cellular network connection. The client cellular interface is configured to establish cellular connections with a communications network, whereby data passed to the client cellular interface is routed within the communications network to a computing device. The cellular access point is configured to receive cellular connections whereby the computing device may connect directly to the cellular M2M chipset.
