Patent number: 9361082Abstract: A method for preparing a computer for use as a central monitoring station includes connecting a computer to a network. An operating system is installed on the computer. Anti-virus software is installed on the computer. Licensing information is installed on the computer. Configuration information is stored on the computer. The configuration information is for the computer and at least one additional computer. A determination is made that the computer is to be activated as a first central monitoring station on the network. When the determination is made that the computer is to be activated as the first central monitoring station, the computer is configured according to a first subset of the configuration information. The computer is activated on the network as the first central monitoring station.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2012Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: WELCH ALLYN, INC.Inventors: John Howard Irwin, Eric G.
