Abstract:
1. An apparatus for providing universal web access functionality comprising: a first electronic device having a plurality of configurable Input/Output ports; a network connection to said first electronic device on a first one of said plurality of configurable Input/Output ports; at least one second electronic device connected to said first electronic device on a second one of said plurality of configurable Input/Output ports, wherein said first electronic device serves web pages associated with said at least one second electronic device, wherein configuration parameters for said second one of said plurality of configurable Input/Output ports are set using a browser interface to said first electronic device; a tri-state buffer, said tri-state buffer being removed out of tri-state mode and driving a pull-up resistor high to generate output high on at least one of said plurality of configurable Input/Output ports; and an open collector output driver, said open collector output driver being set to low impedance mode to generate an output low at said second one of said plurality of configurable Input/Output ports.
