Appeal No. 2001-0962 Page 6
Application No. 07/687,276
The examiner states:
. . . such was taught in col. 5 (lines 50-
52). Thus when the workstation was connected
to the network, communication was established
(initiated) and the configuration file was
transmitted and stored at the workstation. It
clearly was anticipated that an initiation of
communication between the workstation and the
host computer (administrator’s workstation)
had to first be performed prior to trans-
mission of any type of data. [answer at page 9]
While it is true that Sanchez-Frank discloses that there is
some automatic direct distribution of configuration files, there
is no disclosure that the examiner has directed our attention to
which states that the distribution is automatic upon initiation
of communication with the host computer or that such distribution
is made between a newly established workstation and the host
computer. As such, we will not sustain the rejection as it is
directed to claims 2 and 10.
To summarize:
The examiner’s rejection of claims 1 to 3, 6 to 11 and 13
is sustained.
The examiner’s rejection of claims 2 and 10 is not
sustained.
