ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method and system for replacing terminals, linked in a client server relationship with a central server, interacting with hardware specific programs within the central server, and wherein each terminal is identified by hardware specific programs within said central server via specific hardware attributes, and where the specific hardware attributes include at least a port identification and an I/O processor identification associated with the port identification. The method and system achieve the foregoing via the following. A processor is substituted for a selected terminal. Particular hardware attributes of the selected terminal are identified. The identified particular hardware attributes of the selected terminal are emulated using communications software. And, the processor is coupled to the central server via the communications software such that the processor interacts with hardware specific programs within the central server such that the substituted processor interacts with the hardware specific programs in a fashion indistinguishable from the selected terminal.
