Abstract

A computer system is programmed to automatically access specified web pages periodically and download the information from the web page to the computer system which stores it. Through a user interface, a user programs the computer system by entering an internet address of the web page and an access interval. The access interval is the interval at which versions of the web page will be downloaded, e.g. daily or weekly. The user can then access the downloaded information and view the web page at a convenient time. The apparatus is also configured for automatically gathering statistics and data from a network structure and transmitting this information to a database at a server. The server automatically obtains information regarding the types of and configuration of devices coupled to the computer system.
