METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IDENTIFYING AND CONFIGURING NETWORKED DEVICES Auto-detection and configuring systems and methods for interconnected, position dependent control devices (102, 104, 106) are disclosed. Embedded identification and configuration keys (150, 152, 154) are associated with each of the control devices (102, 104, 106) in a network (100), such that specific connection nodes (142, 144, 146) for each controller may be determined by electronically reading the identification as the control devices (102, 104, 106) are 0 installed. Hardware and software compatibility issues may be detected and resolved, including self configuring of the control devices (102, 104, 106) with the proper software where possible. Otherwise, error conditions are signaled. 2882353vl >-= 0 < I 0 Ij ~~O ~ 00 g /00 CDIc, _ _ _ _ _ _ i0 |
