Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for discoverability detection of network services. The present disclosure provides for a cloud-based network insight server that collects performance information of a network and a network agent, communicating with the cloud-based network insight server, that monitors discoverability of network services hosted by devices on the network. The network agent receives configuration information from the cloud-based network insight server and transmits discoverability states of the devices to the cloud-based network insight server based on executing a service discovery process through an access point on the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for zero-touch provisioning of devices, such as sensors, on a network. When a device is unable/cannot access a network via Ethernet, cellular, or near field communications capabilities resident on the device, the device can alternatively be provisioned via an intermediate network device, such as an access point using, e.g., Device Provisioning Protocol or Wi-Fi EasyConnect. A cloud-based network management system may receive a device's bootstrapping information during or after manufacturing of the device. Ultimately, the device, via the intermediate network device, is able to communicate with a back-end, cloud-based network insight system from which configuration parameters for the device may be obtained.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a method for establishing a backup connectivity between a sensor and a management system. The sensor may be deployed in an IT infrastructure and configured to execute a one or more predetermined evaluations for the IT network and generate corresponding evaluation result. Thereafter, the sensor may determine whether a connection between the sensor and the management system via a primary connectivity is unsuccessful. In response to determining that the connection between the sensor and the management system via the primary connectivity is unsuccessful, the sensor may establish a backup connectivity by successfully connecting to an available wireless network using a security credential received by the sensor upon successful verification of public key information of the sensor via an authentication server. The sensor then transmits the evaluation result to the management system via the backup connectivity.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to an access point (AP) that can via up from power save mode via a including Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system-on-chip (SoC) within the AP. The AP can include a power source, a power reset logic component in communication with the power source, a BLE SoC, a processor, and a non-transitory memory resource instructions executable by the processor that signals the AP is in a power save mode, receives an indication, via the BLE SoC, to wake up the AP, and wake up, via the BLE SoC, the AP in response to receiving the indication.

Abstract: One embodiment can provide a method and a system for performing multiple radio frequency allocation. During operation, the system including a controller can receive, a Wi-Fi channel allocation and a filter bank configuration associated with a Wi-Fi radio transceiver. The system can determine one or more Internet of things (IoT) radio transceivers operating with the Wi-Fi radio transceiver. For a respective IoT radio transceiver, the system can perform the following operations: determining a set of scores based on a set of constraints associated with an application type for the IoT radio transceiver; and computing a weighted average score based on the set of scores; and determining a channel allocation for the IoT radio transceiver based on the weighted average score and the Wi-Fi channel allocation.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide network enabled control of a security device. Examples include determining that a client device is connected to a network, receiving a request from the client device to instruct a security device to perform an action, wherein the request comprises a key, authenticating the key received from the request, and based on the determination that the client device is authorized to connect to the network, and based on the authentication of the key, sending, by a network device, a signal to instruct the security device to perform the action.

Abstract: Enforcing payment card policies using a financial institution agent coupled to a payment processing network. The advisory device intercepts messages directed to an authorization element at an authorizing bank, modifies the intercepted messages in response to a set of financial policy rules, and forwards the intercepted messages to the authorization element. The authorization element responds to any modifications made by the financial institution agent, and issues a grant or a denial of of authorization in response. The financial policy rules include a set of policy limits for use of the payment card, responsive to card usage type, merchant type and location, amount per transaction (or for a selected duration), number of transactions, and combinations thereof Financial policy rules can include side effects, including notifications or two-step authorization (with the cardholder or a monitoring party), transaction records, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Mixed-signal tester architecture and methods are provided which minimize transfer of data, offer parallel data post-processing within the analog channels, and allow flexible synchronization. Multiple analog channels each have a source digital signal processor (DSP), a digital source sequencer, digital source instrumentation, analog source instrumentation, analog measure instrumentation, digital measure instrumentation, a digital pin multiplexer, a digital measure sequencer, DSP-addressable multi-bank capture memory, a capture digital signal processor, and an inter-DSP feedback path for communication between the source DSP and the capture DSP. Each analog channel can be arranged in a feedback loop through either its analog and/or digital instrumentation using the inter-DSP feedback path. DUT response is processed in the channel, the result is used to define parameters for a subsequent test cycle, and a signal corresponding to these parameters is generated and applied to the DUT.
