Abstract: A connector includes a connector housing having a coupling side for coupling with a complementary connector along a connection direction and a lever assembly including a lever for coupling with the complementary connector. The lever is pivotable around an axis of rotation on the connector housing. The axis of rotation extends essentially perpendicular to the connection direction. The lever extends in at least one position in the connection direction away from the axis of rotation toward the coupling side. The lever assembly has an extension that is movable relative to the lever and that extends the lever assembly in an extended state away from the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A transmitter for a contactless transmission coupler transmitting data of a wired data network comprises an input, a converter, a modulator, a high-frequency step, and an antenna. The input receives a data signal. The converter is connected to the input, receives the data signal from the input, and converts the data signal into a sequence of bits representing a physical layer of a network protocol employed on the wired data network. The modulator is connected to the converter, receives the sequence of bits from the converter, and modulates a transmission signal with the sequence of bits. The high-frequency step is connected to the modulator, receives the transmission signal from the modulator, and generates a high-frequency signal by shifting the transmission signal into a high-frequency band. The antenna is connected to the high-frequency step, receives the high-frequency signal from the high-frequency step, and emits the high-frequency signal.

Abstract: Economical and dependable networking of spatially separated branches of an organization is made possible for a plurality of individual subscribers with spatially separated branches by means of an arrangement and process for the operation of layer-3 virtual private networks (VPN A, VPN B) on a common data packet.communication network (e.g. OSI L3 data packet communication network 1). A logical separation of the layer-3 VPNs (VPNA, VPNB) is accomplished by allocating disjoint partial address spaces of a given homogeneous total address space to these L3 VPNs. A virtual private network identification number VPN ID is assigned to each L3 VPN and used to identify the disjoint partial address space by forming a part of the address. The VPN ID characterizing the L3 VPN starts at a fixed bit position in the individual subscriber address of each individual subscriber of the L3 VPN and may have a variable or a fixed length.
