Network system management method

Abstract

A network system management method is provided. According to the method, a user inside or outside home can control or monitor the operations of appliances such as refrigerator or laundry machine through a living network such as an RS-485 network, a small output RF network, and a power line network provided inside home so that the user can perform remote control and monitor. Also, when a new device to which no address is assigned is connected in a state where a plurality of network managers are connected to the living network, only an arbitrary network manager sets and registers the address of the corresponding device and updates and manages the homenet profile suitable therefor through interface with the other network manager or a primary network manager sets and registers the address of the corresponding device and updates and manages the homenet profile suitable therefor through interface with a secondary network manager so that it is possible to effectively manage and control the devices connected to the network without redundancy error on the network to which the plurality of network managers are connected.
