Abstract: A system and method for modifying functionality within a wireless network based on a provided passphrase is disclosed. The method includes defining a first and second set of network policies associated with a first and second passphrase, respectively, with the second passphrase being different from the first. The method also includes determining if the provided passphrase used by a client device while engaging in an authentication process with a mutable network device to secure a network connection matches one of the first or second passphrases. The method further includes configuring a traffic kernel module within the network device to provide the network connection to the client device, the connection defined by the set of network policies corresponding to the provided passphrase. Each network policy describes a functionality and governs the circumstances in which it is applied, the functionality being at least one of an access, a capacity, and a resource.

Abstract: A powered rough-in assembly is disclosed. The powered rough-in assembly includes a mounting frame that is annular, having an inner perimeter sized and shaped to receive a speaker module, and an outer perimeter having a polygonal shape with a plurality of edges. The powered rough-in assembly also includes a wiring block coupled to a first edge of the mounting frame. The wiring block includes two spring-type terminals and two wires, each terminal communicatively coupled to a first end of a different wire of the two wires. The plurality of edges includes at least one edge that is a flange having a plurality of countersunk holes. The plurality of edges also includes at least two edges releasably coupled to metal wings.

Abstract: A speaker mounting system having a driver housing and a plurality of clamping assemblies is disclosed. The driver housing includes a face surrounded by a flange, a driver and a central axis. The clamping assemblies are coupled to the driver housing, each including an enclosure, a dog ear, an actuator, and a biasing element. Each dog ear has a core, a threading, and an arm, is rotatably coupled to the enclosure along a first axis, and slideable along a path. Each actuator has a body and a threading, and is rotatably coupled to the enclosure along a second axis. Each biasing element biases the dog ear towards the face. Each clamping assembly is movable between a hidden configuration, an extended configuration, and a tightened configuration. The speaker mounting system may also include a powered rough-in assembly having a mounting frame and a wiring block with two terminals and two wires.
