Concentrator requirements

(THIS DOCUMENT DEFINITION IS IN PROGRESS)

This document defines the functional requirements of a STEAM concentrator. Read the Litem and Manager requirements to get a full vision of the project requirements.

Assumptions

1. A concentrator will always be connected to a Litems network and to a Manager. (In progress)

Definitions

1. Managed network: The Litems network the concentrator is connected to.
2. Litem Addressing Table (LAT): Table where each Litem network address together with the Litem logical address is stored. (In progress)

Requirements

1. The concentrator will be in charge of assigning logical addresses to Litems inside its managed network.
2. Each Litem logical address will be unique inside the Managed network.
3. The concentrator will store the logical addresses assigned to the Litems in the logic addressing table
4. The Logic addressing table will be persistent, what means that its contents must remain between concentrator reboots.
5. The concentrator will allow the Manager to request new Litem searches whenever the network technology supported node discovery.
6. The concentrator will allow the Manager to add new entries to the LAT.
7. The concentrator will allow the Manager to delete LAT entries.
8. The concentrator will allow the Manager to get the LAT contents. (In progress)
