Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, an apparatus that controls device re-configuration for security is provided. The apparatus includes a storage storing a first firmware image for a re-configurable data communication device. In some embodiments, the first firmware image provides one or more operating parameter configurations for the re-configurable data communication device. The apparatus also includes a controller, which is coupled to the storage and the re-configurable data communication device and operable to manage transport of data by the re-configurable data communication device, including obtaining the first firmware image from the storage and loading the first firmware image to the re-configurable data communication device. The apparatus additionally includes a housing at least partially supporting the storage and the controller.
