<p>A computer (1) that can be plugged into a backplane (12) which is coupled to a network. The backplane (12) has a backplane identification (94) that is retrieved by the computer (12) and compared with a stored backplane identification (94). If the stored ID (94) does not match the ID from the backplane (12), the computer (10) transmits a command (206) to the network indicating that the computer (10) has been moved to a new physical location. A server (82) can receive the command and automatically re-configure the network so that a network address and/or telephone number associated with the computer is routed to the backplane (12). The computer (1-) may also transmit a client identification that is used by the server (82) to determine whether the computer (10) is authorized for usage.</p> |
