Abstract
A system and method for interfacing a single host application with multiple machines to be controlled by the host application via a local area network minimizes the complexity of dealing with multiple controlled entities by utilizing a single virtual state machine manager communicating with the host application. The virtual machine manager communicates with the controlled machines via machine proxies in conjunction with a command cache state machine and a command cache, which stores previous action requests generated by the host application. A machine epoxy is created for physical controlled entity attached to the system.
