  • Patent number: 8408259
    Abstract: A routing machine comprises a base unit and a motor unit releasably connected to the base unit. The base unit includes a handle and a first electrical connector. The motor unit includes an electric motor, motor control circuitry configured to energize or de-energize the electric motor, and a second electrical connector connected to the motor control circuitry. The second electrical connector is configured to engage the first electrical connector when the motor unit is properly seated on the base unit. An electric switch is positioned on the base unit. The motor control circuitry is configured to deliver electric power to the electric motor when the switch is in an on position. The motor control circuitry is configured to not provide electric power to the electric motor when the switch is in an off position.

  • Publication number: 20050273464
    Abstract: A administration tool is disclosed for administering a switch, such as a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) switch that optionally provides an IP Telephony feature. Data objects associated with one or more endpoints of the switch are processed, wherein at least one of the data objects inherits an intelligent property from another data object based on one more endpoint-specific criteria. The inheritance may occur as the result of an application of a predefined template to a data object. The processing of configuration data may be performed offline from the switch, using one or more classes of service that are stored remote from the switch. Changes to configuration data are propagated to affected data objects (e.g., those objects referenced by a changed object). The data objects may be imported from an external data source. Another aspect of the invention automatically creates one or more hunt groups populated with appropriate users during an import process.

  • Publication number: 20050259590
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for validating configuration data in a switch. An error is detected if the configuration data fails to comply with one or more rules; and a user is presented with an interface that allows the user to correct the error. The rules may include one or more syntactic rules or conflict rules (or both). In the case of a simple error, the user is presented with an error indication with a smart error link. In the case of a conflict error, the user is presented with an error indication that identifies the conflicting endpoints and optionally allows the user to correct at least one conflicting endpoint. The configuration data is revalidated after a change is made by a user. Changes are propagated to affected data objects. A number of error types may be automatically updated.
