An automated packaging line has capability of filling large and small orders, of one or more bottles, each bottle filled with a respective one of a plurality of different pharmaceutical tablets, in a single run. Structure is provided for filling orders for an individual consumer, for a pharmacist, and for a wholesaler, simultaneously, using differently sized bottles, and providing customized labels for each bottle. A flexible filler station simultaneously fills plural bottles with respective tablets. An intelligent data carrying puck carries each bottle, including therein information describing, among others, the bottle, the customer, the order, the pharmaceutical, the bottle size and label information. Puck handling stations (PHS) are dispersed throughout the line, to verify a number of operations implemented on the line and to reject a puck at the earliest opportunity, while permitting subsequent rejection by a subsequent PHS. The PHS units are substantially identical, with DIP switch modifying operation of the controlling software thereof to implement different features at different points on the line. The pucks are recycled after each pass along the line. An initializing PHS wipes clean the puck data storage and, in a fail safe operation, marks it as a reject. The flexible filler station must mark the puck acceptable. Each subsequent PHS, following the flexible filler station, following a capper and following a label printer, may reject the puck if marked as a reject or if failing to meet various criteria

A method of generating an encryption key in a host system that transmits an encrypted signal. The encryption key generating method can be used in a host system that doesn't have an input device such as a keyboard or mouse. The encryption key generating method can be used in a network environment having a host system that can transmit an encrypted signal and a client system that can receive and accept the encrypted signal by using an encryption key determined in the host system. The method can include the acts of reading a pre-designated number of the host system, reading a current value of a dip switch installed in the host system, associating the pre-designated number with the current value, and generating an encryption key in a wireless LAN environment by using the associated value. Since the encryption key generating method generates an encryption key by using the pre-designated number of the host system which is unique to each system and not externally exposed, and also increases the number of possible encryption keys by using the dip switch, increased security can be achieved.

An illumination system uses a plurality of lamps with each lamp including a modular connector configured for connecting to a streaming data signal. Each lamp further includes an enumerating feature, with a second modular connector, so that a series or array of such lamps can be daisy-chained and thus connected to a control signal such as using the DMX512 standard. Each lamp is intended to retrofit a border light fixture in a stage, studio or entertainment lighting application. The enumeration of each lamp can be done by fixed assignment in the microprocessor nonvolatile memory, or by means of a dual-inline packaged switch bank (DIP switch), or by other electronic or electro-mechanical means. Such numbering is needed to allow each retrofit lamp to have a unique unit number so that it can be specifically addressed and get dimming instructions independently from other retrofit bulbs that share the same data stream.
