One exemplary system includes a muxponder module deployed in an optical network, the muxponder having an optical receiver, a first and second electrical port, a demultiplexer having a built-in digital cross-connect, and a processor accessing a first calculated carrier frequency to assign traffic streams associated with a first service identification code to a first and second host lane of the first electrical port, and a second calculated carrier frequency to assign traffic streams associated with a second service identification code to a third and fourth host lane of the second electrical port, and having logic to control the digital cross-connect to route a first and a second traffic stream to the first electrical port based on the first service identification code, and a third and a fourth traffic stream to the second electrical port based on the second service identification code.

Abstract: A system includes a systems manager configured to retrieve an update package that includes an update installer for updating the information handling system, and to install the update package with the update installer. The update installer retrieves an operating system build number from the information handling system, and parses a metadata file included in the update package to determine a device group based on the operating system build number, wherein the device group includes the applicable updates for the information handling system. The update installer determines a mode of installation based on the operating system build number of the device group, determines a sequence of installation of the applicable updates, and installs the applicable updates according to the sequence of installation and the mode of installation.

Abstract: A housing includes a wall having an aperture and a vented panel, the vented panel including a first wall having a first side and a second side and an opening, a second wall having a first side, a second side facing the first wall first side and an opening, and a panel interior, the housing further including an air filter having an inner side and an outer side relative to the interior mounted against the second wall first side over the second wall opening with the filter inner side facing the housing interior, a water dam mounted along the filter bottom portion at the filter inner side, the water dam being higher than any water barrier mounted along the filter bottom portion outer side, whereby, any water reaching the filter bottom is substantially prevented from draining into the housing interior. Also an air filter usable in the housing.

Abstract: A louvered door assembly for an outdoor electronic enclosure includes an outer panel attached to an inner panel. Channels for holding louvers are attached to both panels. Each channel has slots formed therein which receive the individual louvers and hold them in position without fasteners. The inner panel holds the louvers in the slots. The louvered door assembly provides a clean look, a compact arrangement, large air flow and resists water ingress into the enclosure.

Abstract: A cooling system and method for an outdoor electronics enclosure includes an air conditioner controlled to operate during off-peak hours, so as to pre-cool batteries. The cooled batteries keep the enclosure cool during peak hours so that it is not necessary to run the air conditioner when electricity prices are at their peak. A clock or light sensor determines the time of day. A controller has stored data indicating the peak hours when electricity costs more.

Abstract: A cooling system for an outdoor electronic enclosure, with separate compartments for electronics and batteries, includes separate cooling devices for each compartment so that optimal temperatures are provided to each compartment. The batteries are cooled by a thermo-electric type air-conditioner, while the electronics are cooled by direct air cooling device or a heat exchanger.

Abstract: An outdoor equipment cabinet includes a housing with a first door for accessing an equipment compartment within the housing. A battery compartment is located proximate a bottom of the housing. First and second air vents are located in an upper half of the cabinet. At least one fan moves air from the first vent, down to the battery compartment and then up and out of the second vent. In some embodiments, the first door includes the second vent, and a dual wall construction leading to a heat exchanger mounted to the first door. Air passes through the dual wall construction of the first door and through the heat exchanger to regulate an air temperature within the equipment compartment, and then passes out the second vent. The first vent may be provided in a second door which also includes a dual wall construction to guide incoming air to the battery compartment.

Abstract: An application creation tool includes: a first component and a second component, where a name of the first and second components in accordance with a naming scheme is based on a plurality of attributes for an application which the first and the second components create. Each component pertains to one variation of the combination of attributes, such as the programming language, the application type, the server type, and the service type for the application to be created. Each component is named according to the naming scheme based on these attributes. When a service request for the tool is issued, the tool uses the four attributes to determine the name of the appropriate component. In this manner, the complexity of the application creation tool is reduced. This makes the tool easily maintainable and easier to upgrade.

Then, using the stored procedure arguments, the builder generates logic to extract variables from an input data stream, wherein the variables correspond to the arguments of the stored procedure. The builder also generates logic to invoke the stored procedure using the variables extracted from the input data stream. The generated logic comprises the customized CGI adaptor.

Abstract: A system and method for translating source code, comprising high level source code with embedded SQL statements, to p-code or machine-language instructions by a one-pass parsing mechanism. The one-pass parsing mechanism generates executable code without the need to generate an intermediate file. Additionally, the p-code or machine-language instructions are annotated with references to the line numbers of the corresponding source code, thereby allowing a source level debugger to debug the source code with embedded SQL statements.
