predetermined
speeds. The
motor drives
include
dynamic
braking
circuits to
permit rapid
deceleration
of the wheels.
A pair of
linear
actuators is
provided to
permit the
power head to

data is
performed by


a redirection
server, which
receives the
redirection
rule sets for
each user
from an
authentication
and
accounting
server, and a
database.
Prior to using
the system,
users
authenticate
with the
authentication
and
accounting
server, and
receive a
network
address. The
authentication
and
accounting
server
retrieves the
proper rule set


for the user,
and
communicates
the rule set
and the user's
address to the
redirection
server. The
redirection
server then
implements
the redirection
rule set for the
user's address.
Rule sets are
removed from
the redirection
server either
when the user
disconnects,
or based on
some
predetermined
event. New
rule sets are
added to the
redirection
server either
when a user
connects, or


based on
some
predetermined
event.
