The method of connecting the HAVi cluster and the IP cluster making use of the bridge device and the bridge device which it is related

摘要

Methods for connecting a HAVi cluster and an IP cluster using a bridge device. The first method is characterized in that comprises the steps of:-discovering an IP device on the IP cluster,-creating a HAVi device identifier (GUIDL) for the discovered device,-making the identifier available for reading by bridge aware HAVi software elements. The second method is characterized by the steps of:-discovering a HAVi device on the HAVi cluster,-creating an IP address for the discovered device,-making the IP address available for reading by bridge aware IP software elements. The invention also concerns a bridge device for implementing the methods.
