Abstract
An apparatus for managing telemetry sensor controllers identified by their communication port identifiers is disclosed. The apparatus may include a memory that stores telemetry sensor controller mappings, where a telemetry sensor controller mapping associates an equipment identifier for a telemetry sensor controller with a communication port identifier, and equipment identifier mappings, where an equipment identifier mapping associates an equipment identifier with a telemetry monitoring application. The apparatus may detect a connection with a telemetry sensor controller and receive an equipment identifier. The apparatus may then instantiate a telemetry monitoring application for managing the connected telemetry sensor controller by accessing the plurality of equipment identifier mappings with the received equipment identifier, where the telemetry monitoring application may instruct the connected telemetry sensor controller to perform a requestable operation.
