METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURING A NETWORK AND NETWORK MANAGEMENT DEVICE

摘要

A system is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of network components (2-5) and a network management device (16). Each network component (2-5) comprises a wireless short-range communication interface (12-15) and a body-coupled communication interface (22-25). The network management device (16) comprises a body-coupled communication interface (26) and is designed to configure the plurality of network components (2-5) by means of the body-coupled communication interfaces (22-26) to form a network (1, 71, 72), in which the individual network components (2-5) communicate with each other utilizing the wireless short-range communication interfaces (12-15).
