ABSTRACT:
An interfacing module connected to a network. A target network device connected to the network. An interfacing module is associated with a target network device. An interfacing module is coupled to a peripheral port of a target network device. Interfacing module identification data is stored in a memory portion of the target network device. The network address of the target network device is determined. The network address of the interfacing module is determined. At a remote location the network address of the target network device is used to read the interfacing module identification data from the memory portion of the target device via the network.
