The present invention provides apparatuses and computer readable media for obtaining status information from a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system and sending the status information to a remote networked device using a data container. Upon receiving a Main ON signal indicative of the CPU 1 being inactive, the SCP 7 responds to a switch operation on a control panel 6 to supply a CD-ROM drive 2 with a command corresponding to the switch operation on said control panel 6 independently of the CPU 1 as well as to feed a high-level CD-POWER-ON signal to a power supply circuit 8 through an OR circuit 9. The system also includes a router that receives the graded packets, combines different portions of the content from each of two or more of the graded packets to create an improved packet, and communicates the improved packet. The housing can also be placed on a flat surface or set on its side.
