WIRELESS NETWORK SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED ADDRESS CONFLICT RESOLVING FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

A wireless network system (10) and a method of operating a wireless network system (10) is described. The wireless network system (10) comprises at least a control device (1) and a function device (21, 21 ', 21 "). The control device (1) being configured to send an application control command to said function device (21, 21 ', 21 ") with a first network address (AD1) and the function device (21, 21 ', 21 ") being configured upon reception of said application control command to send an acknowledgement signal to said control device (1). The control device (1) sends conflict information to said function device (21, 21 ', 21 ") in case more than one acknowledgement signal is received, and said function device (21, 21 ', 21 ") upon reception of said conflict information stores a second network address (AD2), different from said first network address (AD1) in said device configuration memory (28), so that said function device (21, 21 ', 21 ") is addressable in said network system (10) using said second network address (AD2).
