Abstract
Various exemplary aspects are directed to apparatuses and methods involving switches communicatively-coupled on a bus where one or more of the switches operate to block signals from passing through the switch in a first mode, and to pass signals through the switch in a second mode. A logic circuit is responsive to addressing information received in the first mode, by storing and configuring the apparatus with the address information. The logic circuit ignores address information received in the second mode (e.g., does not reconfigure the apparatus with address information received in the second mode).
