TRANSCEIVER LOCKING ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. A transceiver locking assembly, comprising:
- at least one processor device;
a network device, in a network environment, in communication with the least one processor device;
a transceiver in communication with the network device;
a transceiver port, coupled to the network device, defining a first slot opening in at least one of a plurality of positions of the transceiver port and configured for selectively receiving the transceiver; and
a dynamically controlled locking mechanism, controlled by the at least one processor device, and coupled to the transceiver port;
wherein, upon a command being issued to the network device, the dynamically controlled locking mechanism is one of selectively positioned into the first slot opening to lock the transceiver into the network device and selectively removed away from the first slot opening to unlock the transceiver from the network device.

Abstract
A transceiver locking assembly includes at least one processor device, a network device, in a network environment, in communication with the least one processor device, a transceiver in communication with the network device; a transceiver port, coupled to the network device, defining a first slot opening in at least one of a variety of positions of the transceiver port and configured for selectively receiving the transceiver, and a dynamically controlled locking mechanism coupled to the transceiver port. The dynamically controlled locking mechanism is selectively positioned into the first slot opening to lock the transceiver into the network device or selectively removed away from the first slot opening to unlock the transceiver from the network device.

21. A computer program product for locking a transceiver by a processor device, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
a first executable portion that, upon a command being issued to a network device, performs one of; selectively positioning a dynamically controlled locking mechanism into a first slot opening on a transceiver port to lock the transceiver into a network device, and selectively removing a dynamically controlled locking mechanism away from a first slot opening on the transceiver port to unlock the transceiver into a network device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
