Patent/Application # 7240106
Description
This prior art is a fairly broad automatic network configuration patent, which appears relevant to the networking solution disclosed in the current application. This prior art does not discuss wind farm networks, but I don't see how the current application can avoid such prior art simply by claiming domain specifics of a wind farm network, when many network applications face similar issues.
