Abstract

A radio network is described for configuring, monitoring, and diagnosing the components of a computer system. Using radio communication offers many advantages: (a) it removes dependencies between the monitoring and monitored systems as orthogonal interconnects are used; (b) by broadcasting information it offers direct communication between the monitoring and monitored devices that does not rely on any intermediate communication devices; (c) it does not rely on a physical interconnect exposed to mechanical wear and tear.
