NETWORK SYSTEM HAVING AUTOMATIC CLIENT CONFIGURATION AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A network system comprising:
- a server comprising;
a configuration file for storing configurations for clients requesting communication with the server, the configurations comprising unique identifications for the clients;
a processor for controlling operations of the server and selecting configurations for clients; and
a transceiver for communicating with clients according to set configurations of the clients;
at least a client for communicating with the server according to a set configuration, the client comprising;
a transceiver for communicating with the server according to a set configuration;
a memory for storing the set configuration of the client; and
a processor for controlling operations of the client and generating a configuration request for the transceiver to send to the server;
wherein when the processor of the client requests a configuration from the server, the server sends a configuration to the client and the client loads the configuration into the memory to establish communication between the server and the client.

Abstract
A server includes a configuration file for storing configurations for clients requesting communication with the server. A client includes a memory for storing a set configuration. When the client requests a configuration from the server, the server sends a configuration to the client and the client sets the configuration into the memory to establish communication. A first program executable on the server measures a time since the configuration was sent to the client, allowing the client to connect to the server with that configuration for a predetermined time or until another connection request is made by the client. A second program executable on the client loads a configuration received by the client into the memory when the received configuration complies with a predetermined standard, and loads a default configuration into the memory when the received configuration does not comply with the predetermined standard.

7. A network server for communication with at least a client, the network server comprising:
-
a configuration file for storing configurations for clients requesting communication with the server, the configurations comprising unique identifications for the clients;
a processor for controlling operations of the server and selecting configurations for clients;
a transceiver for communicating with clients according to set configurations of the clients; and
a first program executable on the processor for measuring a time since a configuration was sent to the client through the transceiver, and allowing the client to connect to the server with the configuration for a predetermined time or until another connection request is made by the client;
wherein when the client requests a configuration from the server, the server sends a configuration to the client to establish communication between the server and the client. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A client for communicating with the server according to a set configuration, the set configuration comprising a unique identification for the client, the client comprising:
-
a transceiver for communicating with the server according to a set configuration;
a memory for storing the set configuration of the client;
a processor for controlling operations of the client and generating a configuration request for the transceiver to send to the server; and
a second program executable on the processor for loading a configuration received by the transceiver into the memory when the received configuration complies with a predetermined standard, and loading a default configuration into the memory when the received configuration does not comply with the predetermined standard. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A method of establishing communication between a server and a client, the method comprising:
-
requesting a connection to the server with the client;
sending a configuration from the server to the client, the configuration comprising a unique identification for the client;
evaluating the configuration received by the client for compatibility with the client;
loading the configuration into a memory of the client when the configuration is compatible with the client; and
sending confirmation of the loaded configuration from the client to the server;
wherein the server and client communicate over an established connection according to the configuration in the memory of the client. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
