Abstract: A secure password/Personal Identification Number (PIN) reset process is disclosed. The process involves replacing a transportation password/PIN of a terminal with a user-specific password/PIN. During the replacement, the user-specific password/PIN is bound with a token. The token can then be used to securely reset the password/PIN of the terminal back to the transportation password/PIN if the user-specific password/PIN is forgotten or compromised.
Abstract: A Local Area Network (LAN) device is provided that includes an integrated switching function and a single network port. More specifically, the single network port of the LAN device may be used to provide communications over two different channels to/from two different external network devices. Thus, the LAN device may be utilized as an intermediary network device in a bus or chain network configuration even though it only comprises a single network port.
