Device management for hybrid elevator environments

An elevator system for a hybrid elevator network, the system comprising:

• one or more devices forming a first subnetwork of the hybrid elevator network;
• a data storage comprising, as network information, pre-set information on the one or more devices forming the first subnetwork;
• device management equipment for elevator device management, the device management equipment being configured to use for device management messages at least one or more first protocols and to update and retrieve information from the data storage;
• one or more second subnetworks of the hybrid elevator network, a second subnetwork comprising one or more peripheral devices, a peripheral device in a second subnetwork being configured to use a second protocol for device management messages;
• and
• at least one converter for converting device management messages according to the second protocol to be according to a first protocol before the device management messages reach the device management equipment,
• wherein the device management equipment is configured to update, in response to receiving a device management message containing, as device information, at least an identifier of a peripheral device, the network information in the data storage to contain the device information in the device management message.
