Abstract: Many devices may comprise interfaces, such as serial interfaces, over which configuration and/or enablement/disablement of device features may be provided to the device. Connecting a computer to individual devices for manual configuration may be cumbersome and/or time consuming. Accordingly, as provided herein, a device interfacing component (e.g., a microcontroller integrated into an interface cable) is configured to couple to a target device. The device interfacing component may receive data streams from the target device, and may match strings, within the data streams, to expressions. If a string matches an expression (e.g., “F5 for IP setup”), then a corresponding scripted response may be executed to send a response instruction (F5, wait 10 seconds, enter key, “192,168.0.1”) to the target device. In this way, the device interfacing component may provide automated configuration for the target device and/or may be daisy chained with other device interfacing components for configuration of other target devices.

Abstract translation: 许多设备可以包括诸如串行接口的接口，通过该接口可以向设备提供设备特征的配置和/或启用/禁用。 将计算机连接到各个设备进行手动配置可能很麻烦和/或耗时。 因此，如本文所提供的，设备接口组件（例如，集成到接口电缆中的微控制器）被配置为耦合到目标设备。 设备接口组件可以从目标设​​备接收数据流，并且可以将数据流内的字符串与表达式匹配。 如果字符串匹配表达式（例如，“F5 for IP setup”），则可以执行相应的脚本响应以发送响应指令（F5，等待10秒，输入密钥“192,168.0.1”）到 目标设备 以这种方式，设备接口组件可以为目标设备提供自动化配置和/或可以与其他设备接口组件串联链接以配置其他目标设备。
