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