VERFAHREN ZUR AUTOMATISCHEN KONFIGURATION DER NETZWERKADRESSE EINES ZU EINEM HEIMAUTOMATIONSSYSTEM GEHÖRENDEN KOMMUNIKATIONSELEMENTS, ZUGEHÖRIGE NETZWERKSCHNITTSTELLE, KOMMUNIZIERENDES ELEMENT UND HEIMAUTOMATIONSSYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for automatically configuring a network address of network interfaces of communicating elements which are intended to form part of a home-automation system for a building and belonging to an unconfigured network part, the unconfigured network part comprising a head network equipment item and at least one communicating element, the network address of each network interface comprising a network prefix. The method is implemented subsequent to the connection of the head network equipment item to a configured communication network arranged in the form of a hierarchical network comprising at least two successive hierarchy levels, the method comprising steps of: - negotiating (72) the network prefix of the network interface of the head network equipment item, - propagating (74) the said network prefix to the communicating elements belonging to the network part with a view to the automatic configuration of the network addresses of the set of network interfaces of said communicating elements.
