Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method are described herein for configuring an audio distribution system, comprising a redis server, the redis server adapted to store redis data to be used in configuring the audio distribution system; a plurality of audio devices, the plurality of audio devices and redis server interconnected to form the audio distribution system, wherein each of the plurality of audio devices comprises-at least one processor; an electronic communications interface operatively connected to the at least one processor and adapted to receive data from a user and transfer the data to the at least one processor; and a memory operatively connected with the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor in a first audio device to execute a method for configuring the audio distribution system that comprises: establishing communications using the electronic communications interface between the user and the at least one processor of the first audio device, such that data input by the user is received by the at least one processor of the first audio device; establishing communications to each of the remaining plurality of audio devices and redis server in the audio distribution system; obtaining information from each of the remaining plurality of audio devices with which communications have been established, such information including one or more of an audio device name, part number, serial number, internet protocol address number, and physical location; receiving configuration information from the user that pertains to a specific audio device of the plurality of audio devices in the audio distribution system that, when installed on a specific audio device, causes the specific audio device to operate in a known manner; and copying that configuration information to others of the same specific type of audio device in the audio distribution system.
