  • Publication number: 20040090464
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically determining equipment control sets and presenting the information to a database for generation of a user interface is disclosed. A control network adapter (“CNA”) is designed to automatically determine the control code sets for almost any controllable product by executing an Automatic Configuration Routine (“ACR”) and then presents this information to a user interface, for example to a graphic user interface or to a network, for example, a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) network through the use of an automatically generated web page. The CNA has the ability to automatically determine what kind of device it is controlling and what are the appropriate control codes to effectuate control of the device, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome, expensive manual programming of the controller with device-specific codes.
