Abstract
The present invention relates to a programmable switching system having N interconnected switching devices (ISDs), each of the ISDs having a unique network address. An ISD includes a switch operating in switching mode and programming mode, a communication interface, a microprocessor, and a memory. The microprocessor controls operation of ISDs when switch is in switching mode and programs ISD when switch is in programming mode. The memory includes a network address storage, and firmware. When the firmware is executed at the microprocessor, firmware is configured to: communicate with all ISDs of programmable switching system through communication interface over a network, receive user's inputs at switches of ISDs, and in response of the received user's inputs, to program ISDs, when switch is in programming mode, and receive user's input at the switch to perform switching functions of the ISD, when the switch is in switching mode.
