Abstract

An apparatus for remote installation of software is disclosed in one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention as including a first processor programmed to execute a master process effective to communicate with and control a slave process; a storage device operably connected to the first processor to store first configuration data; a second processor operably connected to the first processor for executing the slave process effective to communicate with and be controlled by the master process, and programmed thereby to execute an installation program; and a memory device operably connected to the first processor to store inputs to and outputs from the slave process. The memory device may include a first memory device operably connected to the first processor and a second memory device operably connected to the second processor. Communications between the master process and the slave process may be achieved through a communication link operably interposed between the first processor and the second processor. The communication link comprises a first communication module operably associated with the master process, a second communication module operably associated with the slave process, and an electronic connection between the first communication module and the second communication module. A second storage device may be operably connected to the second processor to store the installation program and modules installable thereby.
