Abstract: An IP address updating system and related method is applied to a network server having a management controller for the management controller to update IP installation information. The system includes an acquiring module, a comparing module and an updating module. The method first detects MACs of NICs attached to the network server and LAN channels of the management controller, and then compares the MACs of the NICs with the MACs of the LAN channels. When a MAC of one of the NICs is matched with a MAC of one of the LAN channels, installation fields of the matched LAN channel are updated with IP installation information of the matched NIC. Therefore, a system manager needs not to update the IP address time after time any more, and the network server has better efficiency of management.

Abstract: An automatically setting method and related system for a network communications system having a remote console is disclosed. The method provides a network serving equipment having a management controller, and connects a network serving equipment through the network communications system to the remote console. The method sets the network serving equipment in a PXE mode, and sends request instructions to request IP address to the remote console after the network serving equipment is actuated, to acquire corresponding IP address. The network serving equipment sends IP request instructions to the remote console to request corresponding network parameter setting program. Then the network serving equipment executes the network parameter setting program instruction, and sets IP address parameters of the management controller according to the acquired IP address accordingly.

Abstract: Calibration methods and circuits for suppressing second order distortion in a direct conversion receiver. In the calibration method, a signal output by a down converter is filtered to obtain an interference signal, and strength of the interference signal is detected. A calibration code is obtained according to the detected strength of the interference signal, and the down converter is adapted according to the calibration code to suppress second order distortion.

Abstract: The invention provides a phase-locked loop (PLL). Since a loop bandwidth of the PLL is a function of a gain of a phase detector and a gain of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), by adjusting the gain of the phase detector, the variation of the gain of the VCO (i.e., the tuning sensitivity) is compensated, so that the loop bandwidth of the PLL becomes more stable.
