Abstract: The present invention provides a generic communication system for configuring substantially simultaneously one or more remotely located devices in a computer system. A generic communication system establishes physical and logical connection between clients running on a computing platform and remote security devices. A unique client identification is assigned to each client trying to access the one or more devices. Further, a session handler for each of the assigned unique client identifications is generated. Physical and logical connections with the one or more devices are established by dynamically assigning associated transmission media components and protocols based on the generated session handlers and the assigned unique client identifications. The system uses a Component Object Model (COM) based design for communication software.
