Abstract
For use in a system comprising a plurality of devices that are connected together in a network, there is disclosed a system and method of transferring information from a first device in the network to a second device in the network when the first device is operating in a reduced power mode. The first device comprises a second power supply for supplying power to the first device when a first power supply fails. The first device also comprises a controller for transferring information from the first device to a second device in the network when the first device is receiving power from the second power supply. The second device in the network receives power from its own first power supply. The second device receives information that has been transferred from the first device in the network.
