METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A NETWORK STATION IN A NETWORK OF A FIRST TYPE FROM A NETWORK STATION IN A NETWORK OF A SECOND TYPE AND CONNECTION UNIT FOR THE CONNECTION OF THE NETWORKS OF THE FIRST AND SECOND TYPES

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of connection through a gateway 14, the two home network of the home network technology, in more detail, different types. The first type of network devices in the network will also be able to control the network device within the network of the second type, and vice versa function. In an environment for realizing the control message conversion, even if available for direct conversion to other network formats the many control messages, a problem that the corresponding format (correspondence) for a control message from the device to be, in some cases, control occurred. ; In order to convert these control messages, it suggested to provide the means 60 in the additional network device (19) for checking whether the data connection is set up for the device 20 to be controlled to, a network connection unit 14 it was, and if an additional network device 19 if it has such a device function, the control message into a corresponding control message to the additional network device 19, the conversion is realized to be sent to the further network device (19).
