Claim:
A system for configuring a client on host devices, the system comprising: a link between a configuring device and each host device; a configuration application on the configuring device to configure one or more parameters of the client on host devices; host drivers for communicating between the each of the host devices and the configuring device over the link; and an interface between the host drivers and the configuration application, the interface configured to convert instructions from the configuration application into instructions useable by the host drivers for communicating with the each of the host devices, wherein when a first one of the host devices is connected to the configuring device, a first implementation of the interface promotes the configuration application configuring the client on the first one of the host devices via a first one of the host drivers and when a second one of the host devices is connected to the configuring device, a second implementation of the interface promotes the configuration application configuring the client on the second one of the host devices via a second one of the host drivers.
