Abstract

A method, system and device are disclosed for auto-configuration of a daisy-chain system (100) of a plurality of serially interconnected devices (102, 104, 106). The method includes receiving at least one rule for a configuration domain. The method further includes fetching configuration information from at least one device in the system. The method additionally includes defining the configuration domain based on the at least one rule and the configuration information, applying the configuration domain to each device in the system.
