摘要

A method for effecting assignment of addresses in a system including at least one server device communicatingly coupled with a plurality of client devices, the addresses permitting communications among the at least one server device and at least one selected client device, includes the steps of: (a) identifying a respective geographic locus for each respective client device; and (b) assigning a respective geographic address for each respective client device; each respective geographic address identifying a particular respective geographic locus for a particular respective client device. A system for effecting communication among a plurality of server devices and a plurality of client devices includes: (a) a communication bus coupling the plurality of server devices; and (b) a plurality of connection loci coupled with the communication bus. Respective client devices are coupled with selected connection loci. Each respective connection locus is uniquely identified by a respective address.
