| 摘要 |
A method (300) is provided for an apparatus (110, 210) which controls one or more lighting units (10) and which is connected to a lighting network (100), to indicate its network address. The apparatus receives (320) an identification command. Sequentially, for each bit of the network address: the apparatus controls (330) the lighting unit(s) to indicate the value of the bit during a bit period by the lighting unit(s) entering an illumination state corresponding to the value of the bit, and causing (340) a signaling device (218) to signal during a time interval within the bit period that the illumination state of the lighting unit(s) validly indicates the value of the bit. After the values for all of the bits of the network address have been indicated by the lighting unit(s), the signaling device enters a state (360) which indicates the end of the network address. |

1. A method, comprising:
receiving an identification command at an addressable apparatus which is connected to a lighting network and which is configured to control at least one lighting unit for illuminating at least a region of a facility, wherein the addressable apparatus has a network address associated therewith and has a signaling device integral thereto; sequentially, for each bit of the network address:
the addressable apparatus controlling a first device among: the at least one lighting unit, and the signaling device, to indicate a value of the bit during a bit period by the first device entering a state corresponding to the value of the bit, andcausing a second device among: the at least one lighting unit, and the signaling device, to signal during a time interval within the bit period that the first device validly indicates the value of the bit; and after the values for all of the bits of the network address have been indicated by the at least one lighting unit, causing at least one of the first and second devices to enter a state which indicates an end of the network address. |
