Node unregisterable without user account at remote site

摘要

Systems and methods for providing registration at a remote site that may include, for example, a monitoring module that may communicate with a remote site. A registration protocol may be used by the monitoring module and the remote site in generating the messages communicated during the registration process. The monitoring module may gather and generate various identification information to be included in the registration protocol messages. The registration information provided by the monitoring module may be stored at the remote site in a database server having a database. A confirmation message may be communicated from the remote site to the monitoring module that may either acknowledge successful registration or report that an error occurred during the registration process.

1. A node disposed at a location remote from a remote site, the node being associated with a user and comprising:
processing components; communication components for enabling communication; and software that is configured to be executable by the processing components of the node that is disposed at the location remote from the remote site, wherein the software is configured to facilitate, at least in part, registration of the node at the remote site, wherein the remote site is: communicatively coupled to a communications network and capable of communication via the communications network, configured to maintain a plurality of node identifiers including a node identifier that identifies the node that is disposed at the location remote from the remote site, configured to maintain a plurality of user accounts including a user account that is associated with the user, and configured to register the node at the remote site including associating the node identifier that identifies the node that is disposed at the location remote from the remote site with the user account that is associated with the user; wherein the user account must be created at the remote site before the node can be registered at the remote site.
