  • Patent number: 11848844
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media provide for the intelligent configuration of endpoint devices for video conferencing. First, the system identifies a plurality of endpoint devices within a room which are communicatively connected. The system then determines a quantity of the endpoint devices. For each of the endpoint devices, the system performs one or more diagnostic operations to receive diagnostic output from the endpoint device, determines a location and an orientation of the endpoint device within the room using the received diagnostic output, and determines whether the diagnostic output meets or exceeds a threshold for output quality. Finally, the system processes the diagnostic outputs of the endpoint devices to determine an optimal settings configuration for each of the endpoint devices. The optimal settings configuration is dependent on at least the quantity, location, orientation, and output quality of the endpoint devices.

  • Patent number: 11838701
    Abstract: In one embodiment, systems and method for detecting the intent of a connected optics/cable to operate in either a breakout mode or a non-breakout mode are provided. When a optics/cable is used to connect a port of a spine node to ports of one or more leaf nodes, initially both the spine node and the leaf nodes may automatically configure themselves to operate in breakout mode depending on the optics. Later, the spine node and one or more leaf nodes may exchange speed and optics information using a link layer discovery protocol or another protocol. If the exchanged speed and optics information indicates a mismatch, then the spine node or the leaf node may retain the breakout mode. If the exchanged speed and optic information do not indicate a mismatch, then the spine nodes and the leaf nodes may automatically re-configure themselves in non-breakout mode.
