<p>A network system (201) detects the presence of a remote terminal (212) connected to the network and determines the functional protocol of the remoter terminal (212). If the terminal (212) is an infrared adapter, the network hub (201) provides electrical power to the infrared adapter and continually monitors the system for the presences of the infrared adapter. Upon removal of the infrared adapter, the network system (201) removes electrical power applied to a user interface connector which is connected to the infrared adapter. If another protocol is detected for the remote terminal (212), the network hub communicates with the remote terminal in that protocol and converts the data to the protocol of the network (201).</p> |
