Abstract:
A device includes a first interface to receive a signal from a first communication link, wherein the receive signal includes out-of-band (OOB) information. A detector coupled to the first interface detects the OOB information. An encoder coupled to the detector encodes the OOB information into one or more symbols (e.g., control characters). A second interface is coupled to the encoder and a second communication link (e.g., a serial transport path). The second interface transmits the symbols on the second communication link. The device also includes mechanisms for preventing false presence detection of terminating devices.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of bridging out-of-band (OOB) information across a device, comprising: apparatus to serve as an intermediary between a first device, via a first serial communication link, and a second device, via a second serial communication link, the apparatus comprising:\n at an intermediary device coupled between a first device, via a first serial communication link, and a second device, via a second serial communication link:\n receiving, via the first serial communication link, an incoming signal from the first device, if the first device is present; \n determining whether the incoming signal received via the first serial communication link indicates an out-of-band (OOB) condition; and \n based on the determination, either (i) providing an output signal to the second serial communication link comprising data packets encoded from the incoming signal or (ii) providing an output signal to the second serial communication link comprising a predefined symbol assigned to indicate the OOB condition of the incoming signal received via the first serial communication link.
