Abstract: A communication network physical monitoring system and method employs a media converter device configured to transport communication/Ethernet data traffic and sense network physical layer conditions and/or events. An event controller device in communication with the media converter device receives transmissions indicating network physical layer conditions and/or events from the media converter device. The event controller is configured to transmit messages indicating the network physical layer conditions and/or events via a Social Media/Networking Service to devices that subscribe to receive messages from the event controller device on the Social Media/Networking Service.

Abstract: The invention provides a system configured to function with medium used for securely storing information. The system is designed to be used by an administrator, and the medium is designed to be used by an end-user. The system creates schemes that are distributed to the end-users. The schemes can be designed with the system to automate log-on processes for secured applications. In addition, the schemes can be designed with the system to automate password changes that are requested by the secured applications.
