A central server communicates requests from the at least one third-party device, in a plurality of third-party devices having a TCP connection with the central server, to a target device using the TCP connection established between the central server and a point-to-point receiver. The central server receives data from the target device using the TCP connection established between the central server and the point-to-point receiver. The central server delivers data to all of the plurality of third-party devices using the TCP connections established between the central server and each of the plurality of third-party devices.

System and method for allowing simultaneous TCP connections to a point-to-point TCP connected device

Upon detection, by a central server, of failed unit and a replacement unit, a manifest for the failed unit encrypted with a first key known by the central server and each unit in a plurality of units. The manifest also contains a configuration bundle encrypted with a second key known only to each of the units so it cannot be decrypted by the central server. The manifest is pushed to the replacement unit where it is decrypted by the replacement unit using the first and second keys so that the archived settings and the configuration bundle may be migrated from the failed unit to the replacement unit.
