A first connection is provided between a first device (5114) and a second device (5120) in the network and a second connection is provided between the first device and a third device (5124) in the network. A third connection is established between the second device and the third device in the network. A first mechanism is provided that is responsive to a condition existing in the network that affects the operation of a device in the network. A second mechanism is provided that is responsive to the first mechanism and operative to electrically isolate the device from the network.</p> |
