Local area network. |
摘要 |
<p>57 A local area network comprises a controller (1) a transmission medium (2) and a plurality of terminals (3-n). Each terminal (3-n) includes means for requesting the controller to allocate it an address. The address request is transmitted together with a random number generated within the terminal (3-n). When the controller (1) transmits the allocated address to the terminal it also repets the random number associated with the address request.</p><p>In order to reduce the likelihood of two terminals generating the same random number each terminal (3-n) generates a new random number whenever a human interaction with the terminal takes place.</p> |
