Abstract

A method is disclosed for device management. The method is performed in a daisy-chain system (100) of serially inter-connected devices (102, 104, 106). Such a method may include assigning ownership of a control token to a master device, the master device being one device in the system. The method may further include receiving at the master device a request for use of the control token by a peer device in the system. If the control token is available, the control token is lent to the peer device, thereby enabling the peer device to execute a command on one or more of the devices in the system.
