<p>In a SmartRight„¢ network (100), a device (110, 120) is not always aware that it is inserted into the network (100). According to the invention, the device (110, 120) repeatedly sends Restart messages (111, 112, 121, 122, 123, 124) and concludes that it is inserted into the network (100) if it receives a response (113) to these messages. Advantageous embodiments comprise having a random interval between two messages, and having a shorter interval (T1) between messages when the device (110, 120) is not connected than when it is connected to the network (100). Further, a Progenitor device concludes that it is connected upon reception of any SmartRight„¢ message. The invention, which claims a method and a device, provides a network independent solution to the insertion detection problem.</p> |
