Abstract
A system is disclosed for use in a networked computer system that includes a host computer and a remote computer being used to access a device. The system includes a communications module for transferring data to and from a communications port of the host computer. The system also includes a data interface module for accessing an interface definition from a storage device in electronic communication with the host computer. Accessing the interface definition is accomplished through use of an interface definition identifier. A device access controller is also utilized in the system for communicating with the remote computer via the communications module. The device access controller obtains the interface definition identifier from computer program code loaded on the remote computer. In addition, the device access controller accesses the storage device through the data interface module to obtain the interface definition and uses the interface definition identifier to obtain the interface definition. In embodiments herein, there may be a plurality of interface definition identifiers obtained from the computer program code loaded on the remote computer.
