Networked mobile router
First Claim
1. A mobile router, comprising:
- an interface to a wireless communications link;
a memory for storing information comprising configuration information and main server information utilizable to identify a main network server;
a communications agent operable with said interface to establish communication via said wireless communications link to a network comprising a main server and a plurality of group servers;
said communications agent is operable such that its initial communication to said network utilizes said main server information to establish a first communication with said main server;
a microprocessor operable with said communications agent to interact with said main server to upload said configuration information from said memory to said main server via said network;
said communication agent is operable such that its second communication to said network utilizes said main server information to establish a second communication with said main server;
said communications agent is operable to receive group server identification information from said main server during said second communication;
said microprocessor is operable to store said group server identification information in said memory, said group server information comprising information identifying one or more servers corresponding to a predetermined group server to which said mobile router is assigned by said main server; and
said communications agent utilizes said group server identification information for subsequent communication via said network to communicate via said one or more servers.

Abstract
A mobile router, comprises a communications agent operable such that its initial communication to the network utilizes the main server information to establish a first communication with the main server. The mobile router further comprises a microprocessor operable with the communications agent to interact with the main server to upload configuration information to the main server. The communications agent is operable to receive group server identification information from the main server when communicating with the main server a second time. The microprocessor is operable to store the group server identification information. The group server information comprises information identifying one or more servers corresponding with a predetermined group assigned by the main server. The communications agent utilizes the group server identification information for subsequent communication via the network.
