METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AN INFORMATION CODE BETWEEN TWO COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for transferring an information code from a first communications device to a second communications device via a communications network, wherein said information code is representative for an event occurrence on the first communications device, the communications devices implement at least one link layer conforming to the OSI model, the information code is transmitted in a data frame comprising a data field and a field processable by the link layer, and is characterised in that the first communications device determines (E501) an information code representative for the event occurrence from a predetermined set of information codes, inputs (E503) the information code into a field processable by the link layer and transfers (E504) the thus formed data frame.
