Abstract: Methods and systems for providing WAN, LAN and power to allocated spaces such as offices, apartments, condominiums, or dormitories comprises a plurality of fiber taps configured to interface with optical fiber communications incoming from an ISP and also to interface with a local supply of power. The combined communications and power are distributed to downstream equipment including customer premises equipment, including conversion of the ISP’s protocol into one or more protocols appropriate for interfacing with the downstream devices through the use of one or more specially-configured fiber gateways, plates and fiber media converters. Power line monitoring and management permits local and remote monitoring and control of each branch of the the local network, including detection of excessive power use or loss of power indicating an alarm or warning condition.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product provide a mechanism for managing the execution of electronic documents using electronic signatures. Documents requiring electronic signatures are automatically identified, mined, trimmed and split from a printer control data language stream. Status information pertaining to needed data, signatories, signature completions and authentication attempts is related to users during and after an electronic signing sequence.
