Abstract: The method for operating a distribution point unit comprising a selection switch (17) and a monitor and control logic (15) for providing a first and a second service, comprises the steps of: receiving a switching signal powering the monitor and control logic (68), and switching the selection switch from the first service to the second service by the monitor and control logic (70), after receiving the switching signal. The selection switch has a default state, in which the first service is provided. The first service is in particular an xDSL and/or a PSTN service, and the second service is a G.fast service.

Abstract: An access device and an extender access device, forming a network for network client devices. A single IP address attribution server in the network attributes IP addresses to network devices based on their MAC address. The access device providing access in a first coverage zone. The extender access device providing access in a second coverage zone. The extender access device implements MAC address translation for representing network client devices in the second zone before the access device. When a network client device roams from the second zone to the first zone, the client device keeps its IP address that was attributed to it by the IP address attribution server via the extender access device even if the client device requests an IP address with its real, non-translated MAC address.

Abstract: The invention concerns a mounting assembly for releasably mounting a housing of an electronic device on a surface such as a wall or a piece of furniture, comprising receiving means to be arranged on said surface, and engaging means to be arranged on the housing for engaging with said receiving means, wherein said receiving means cooperate with at least one ventilation recess of the housing to lock said housing on the mounting assembly. The invention also concerns a corresponding electronic device and a method for fabricating a mounting assembly.

Abstract: A securing device for maintaining a first electrical connector in contact with a second electrical connector through at least one window of a panel, the second connector being arranged behind that panel, is disclosed. The securing device includes at least two clips arranged on a front end to be directed towards the panel, at least one hollow starting from the front end and extending towards a rear end of the securing device, and at least one outward opening leading into it.

Abstract: Method for triggering an event—such as but not limited to a reset to default parameter values—in an electronic device comprising input means responsive to a user input. The method comprising the steps of providing a first period of time during which the user is authorized to activate the input means; in response to a predetermined user input during the first period of time, providing a second period of time, distinct from said first period of time, and during which the user is authorized to activate the user input means; and triggering said event in response to a user input during the second period of time.
