  • Automatic configuration of testers and hosts on a computer network
    Patent number: 6542928
    Abstract: Automated reconfiguration of computer workstations as tester workstations and host workstations by querying the user for the network address of the tester to be swapped out and copying, creating and reconfiguring the configuration files for the network on the system to be swapped in. This invention allows an engineering department to use a workstation for off-line development and eliminates the need to provide a spare tester workstation to replace a failed tester workstation.
