Abstract
An apparatus for managing telemetry sensor controllers identified by their respective communication port identifiers is disclosed. The apparatus may include a memory that stores a telemetry sensor controller mapping that associates an equipment identifier for a telemetry sensor controller with a communication port identifier, an equipment identifier mapping that associates an equipment identifier with a telemetry monitoring application, and a firmware mapping that associates a telemetry monitoring application with a firmware for a telemetry sensor controller. The apparatus may determine an equipment identifier for a connected telemetry sensor controller and instantiate a telemetry monitoring application for the connected telemetry sensor controller based on the equipment identifier mapping. The apparatus may then automatically transfer a firmware to the connected telemetry sensor controller when the firmware version installed on the connected telemetry sensor controller is determined to not be a current version of the firmware available.
