An architecture for automatically configuring equipment. A piece of
equipment connected externally to a user PC has one or more
machine-resolvable codes (MRCs) associated therewith. The piece of
equipment receives configuration information from a remote location
disposed on the network in response to reading a select one of the one or
more MRCs with a reader. Configuration information associated with the
select one of the one or more MRCs is transmitted from the remote location
to the piece of equipment via the user PC, and the piece of equipment is
then configured according to the configuration information.
