Abstract
A system and method for accessing and configuring remote systems is disclosed. A home system having a generic interface establishes a connection with a remote system. The home system determines the current configuration of the remote system, such as the installed features and software version. The remote system then provides any necessary configuration logic objects to the home system. The configuration logic objects are associated with the specific feature and software on the remote system. Using the configuration logic objects for a particular remote system, the generic interface provides a list of valid configuration options to the user. The user is thereby able to modify the configuration of the remote system without having to know the specific features and software that are installed on the remote system and without the risk of selecting an invalid configuration. Configuration logic objects may also monitor the configuration options selected by the user and verify that the selected options are valid.
