Filed:

Nov 20, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/561642

Inventors:

John A. Marconi - Hoffman Estates IL, US
Christopher Swider - Evanston IL, US
Devarajan Puthupparambil - Mt. Prospect IL, US

Assignee:

UTSTARCOM, INC. - Alameda CA

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

713184

Abstract:

A platform () having a default password and a presently used password stored therein receives () data from a portable physical data carrier and extracts () information comprising a unique code and a count as correspond to the platform. When a comparison () of the code and the count with corresponding information in the platform is favorable, the platform then resets () the presently used password to the default password. To facilitate the provision of such a portable physical data carrier, upon detecting () a need to reset this presently assigned password at a remotely located platform to a default password, the aforesaid unique code and count are recovered () and placed () on the portable physical data carrier along with an instruction regarding resetting of the presently used password. That portable physical data carrier can then be physically forwarded () to that platform to facilitate the foregoing steps.

Abstract:

An automatic clock calibration circuit includes a source of clock signals and an equal number of corresponding clock reference signals. Corresponding delay elements are connected between the source and the load driven by each of the clock signals. A phase frequency detector detects the phase differences between each clock signal, at the point at which it is applied to its load, and its corresponding clock reference signal. A microcontroller adjusts the delay of the delay elements according to the detected phase differences.
