摘要

The device (10) has a transmission unit (14) with a connector connected with one of connectors of a switching unit (12), and a transmitting/receiving unit (15). The transmitting/receiving unit sends or receives data packets at the connector of the unit (14) according to a data transmission method. Another transmission unit (16) comprises a connector connected with another connector of the switching unit, and another transmitting/receiving unit (17). The transmitting/receiving unit (17) sends or receives data packets at another connector of the unit (16) according to another method. An independent claim is also included for a method for selection of a data transmission method at a receiving device.
