First Claim
1. A method providing location-specific computer enabled services and monitoring, having minimally invasive reconfiguration and replacement, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing, from a server, a first relationship of a network addressing between a location and electronic configuration information;
providing, from the server, a second relationship of a uniquely identifying between the location and an electronic identifier of the location;
providing, at the location, an electronic service connecting/monitoring component as a daughter card, and a hot-swappable board electronic component having a readable component providing the electronic identifier in an electronically readable format and a boot loader receiving boot info including a boot script from the server;
accessing the electronic identifier from the readable component;
accessing the location associated with the accessed electronic identifier according to the second relationship;
accessing the electronic configuration information associated with the associated location according to the first relationship;
loading the electronic configuration information associated with the location from the server onto the service connecting/monitoring component of the location;
executing, in the processor, the boot script to load an operating system from the server to the processor; and
executing the operating system to perform said loading the electronic configuration information from the server, thereby enabling modification of the associated electronic configuration information to reconfigure based on the location;
wherein the hot-swappable board communicating a status of the hot-swappable board with the server according to business rules.

16. A system providing location-specific computer enabled services and monitoring, having minimally invasive reconfiguration and replacement, the system comprising:
-
a relationship provider enabling a first relationship of a network addressing between a location and electronic configuration information from a server and a second relationship of uniquely identifying between said location and an electronic identifier of the location; a service connecting/monitoring component as a daughter card at the location including a hot-swappable board electronic component having the electronic identifier embodied therein, a boot loader, and a readable component providing said electronic identifier in an electronically readable format; an accessor accessing an accessed said electronic identifier from said readable component, accessing said location associated with the accessed said electronic identifier according to said second relationship, and accessing said electronic configuration information associated with the associated location according to said first relationship; and a server loading the associated said electronic configuration information onto said service connecting/monitoring component and enabling modification of the associated said electronic configuration information to reconfigure based on said location; wherein said service connecting/monitoring component receives boot information including a boot script from said server into a processor, executes said boot information to load an operating system from said server to said processor, and executes said operating system to load the associated said electronic configuration information downloaded from said server; wherein said hot-swappable board communicates a status of said hot-swappable board with said server according to business rules. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
