Hot-plugging

Hot-plugging is the ability to add devices to an active network. Using the features described for redundancy, a network can detect when a new device is attached to an active network. Processes exist that configure the new device and announce its availability to the master control. After that, the master can elect to make use of the new device based on the application currently running.   Next >>
