COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS USING MAC ADDRESS IN SMARTGRID

摘要

The present invention relates to a communications control method using a MAC address in a smart grid environment and an apparatus thereof. The communications control method comprises the steps of: detecting the connection of a terminal by a communications control device; determining whether the terminal corresponds to a product of an authorized company based on a manufacturing company of the detected terminal; using the MAC address corresponding to the terminal to distinguish a path, if the terminal is to be applicable to the product of the authorized company; requesting a smart grid network IP address or a general net IP address according to the distinguished path to an address providing server; and controlling the communications with a network gateway according to the IP address received from the address providing server.
