摘要
An automated network topology discovery system via smart power cords and system facility device management that uses smart power cords with integrated sensors and wireless interfaces to discover the network topology and manage devices in a facility. Locations of smart power cords may be automatically discovered using either cooperative or non-cooperative localization based on measurement of signal characteristics such as RSSI. Each cord may monitor power delivered to device(s), and measure variables including temperature, humidity, pressure. It may also act as a gateway to other devices in the vicinity. A central control station may manage the devices in the facility via the smart power cords. Data collected from smart power cords may be analyzed to provide alerts and management reports. Alerts may include attempted theft when a device is unplugged, environmental conditions or a staff member requesting assistance via an emergency alert forwarded through a smart power cord.
