Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for supplying a link maintenance function in a D3 type cold state of a network device. SOLUTION: In order that a link maintenance module can maintain a power supply state in a cold power mode, a database software type link maintenance module is individually installed in the hardware of the network device as a separated function from a function of a core CPU in the network device. An auxiliary backup power supply supplies power to a database ink maintenance module, and then a minimum power supply other than the power supply supplying power to the center function of the network device can supply power to an individual link maintenance module in the case of a power-down mode. The database link maintenance module receiving power individually is used for a redundant module with respect to a software type data base link maintenance module. As another method, the database link maintenance module receiving power individually is used for an alternative of a conventional software driver.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for accessing the register of a physical layer device designed according to a new standard in an existing network. SOLUTION: The system has an extension protocol layer 20 between a protocol/application layer 10 and an MAC driver 30. The extension protocol layer 20 generates register read/write commands of an extension physical layer device 50 which are then set in a standard Ethernet (R) data packet. The extension physical layer device 50 discriminates these register read/write command packets and takes out a command therefrom. The extension physical layer device 50 embeds a read/write confirmation packet in the standard Ethernet (R) data packet and the extension protocol layer discriminates the standard Ethernet (R) data packet and then takes out an acknowledgment therefrom.

Abstract: A translation system and related method for use with a communications device having a physical layer system and a data link layer system with a media access control layer subsystem and coupleable to a communications network. In one embodiment, the translation system includes a generator that constructs a piggyback packet containing characteristics associated with the physical layer system. The translation system also includes a correlator, coupled to the generator, that receives the piggyback packet and extracts information about the physical layer system. The generator and correlator transmit and receive the piggyback packet without substantially modifying the media access control layer subsystem.
