Abstract: A system and method for distributing and managing the flow of information between a plurality of networks uses a device that can receive voice and data signals simultaneously through a single communication point from a remote integrated voice/data network and distribute these signals to one or more end terminals connected to a local network. The device has a specific telephone number and an IP address for receiving voice and data signals from the remote network. Upon receiving voice and/or data signals, the device determines which end terminal connected to the local network is to receive the incoming signal and routes the signal to the appropriate terminal. The device can also transmit voice and data signals from the local network to the remote network and serve as a firewall for both incoming and outgoing transmissions.

Abstract: A baffle arrangement, interposed between a series of modules of electronic components and a fan, helps to improve the evenness of flow of air drawn through the components by the fan. The baffle arrangement comprises a series of channels. A first half of the channels runs from one end of the series of modules, across approximately half of the modules. A second half of the channels runs from approximately half-way across the series of modules to the other end of the series of modules. There is a gap between each channel and an adjacent channel of approximately the width of a channel. The first half of the channels is offset from the second half of the channels by approximately the width of a channel such that no channel from the first half of channels is collinear with a channel from the second half of channels. Air drawn up from a module into a channel must flow along the channel to the end of the channel (approximately mid-way across the series of modules) before being drawn into the fan.
