Netzwerk mit über Brücken-Terminals verbindbaren Sub-Netzwerken

摘要

The invention relates to a network with several sub-networks which each comprise a controller for controlling a sub-network and which can each be connected via bridge terminals. A bridge terminal is set up, modified during operation, and released again by means of an exchange of messages of the relevant controller with the bridge terminal. The setup and modification procedures lay down the start moments and the durations of the presence of the bridge terminal in the sub-networks.
