Abstract
A method of rebooting terminals connected to a local area network capable of providing a remote power supply to the terminals from at least one remote power supply unit, in particular terminals receiving a local power supply and which can receive a remote power supply in the event of failure of their local power supply, commands rebooting of the terminals by means of a command signal consisting of interruption of a remote power supply provided to the terminals by a remote power supply unit.
Claims9
A method of rebooting terminals connected to a local area network capable of providing a remote power supply to said terminals from at least one remote power supply unit, which method commands rebooting of said terminals by means of a command signal consisting of interruption of a remote power supply provided to said terminals by a remote power supply unit.
A concentrator for a local area network, which concentrator is capable of rebooting terminals connected to said local area network and includes a remote power supply unit for providing a remote power supply to concentrators and/or terminals on its downstream side and is adapted to command interruption of said remote power supply of terminals and/or concentrators on its downstream side.
A terminal adapted to be connected to a local area network which is adapted to provide a remote power supply to a terminal in the event of failure of its local power supply, said terminal including a local power supply unit, a coupler for coupling it to said local area network, and a detector for detecting that said terminal is no longer receiving any remote power supply provided by said network, and being adapted to reboot said terminal if said detector detects that said terminal is no longer receiving any remote power supply provided by said network.
