Abstract
The invention relates to a method enabling communication between a line termination device and at least one network termination device, said line termination device being connected by at least one line to the at least one network termination device. The method includes a step in which frames containing content data are transmitted by the line termination device via the line to at least one of said at least one network termination devices. Reconfiguration data is sent by the line termination device to at least one of the network termination devices, said reconfiguration data being specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of the above-mentioned frames and enabling the reconfiguration of a modem of the destination network termination device.

A method of communication between a line-termination device and at least one network-termination device, said line-termination device being connected by at least one line to said at least one network-termination device, the method comprising a step of transmission, by the line-termination device, via said line, to at least one of said at least one network-termination device, of frames comprising content data, wherein said frames transmitted by the line-termination device to at least one of said network-termination devices comprise:
- a content field designed to transfer the content data originating from the telecommunications network, and
- a reconfiguration field capable of transferring reconfiguration data specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of said frames and allowing a reconfiguration of a modem of said destination network-termination device.
A method of communication between a line-termination device and a network-termination device, said line-termination device being connected by at least one line to said network-termination device, the method comprising a step of reception, by the network-termination device, via said line, originating from the line-termination device, of frames comprising content data, wherein said frames received by the network-termination device comprise:
- a content field designed to transfer the content data originating from the telecommunications network, and
- a reconfiguration field capable of transferring reconfiguration data specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of said frames and allowing a reconfiguration of a modem of said destination network-termination device.
A frame designed to be transmitted between a line-termination device and at least one network-termination device, said line-termination device being connected by at least one line to said at least one network-termination device, said frame comprising reconfiguration data specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of frames between said line-termination device and said at least one network-termination device, said reconfiguration data allowing a reconfiguration of a modem of said network-termination device.
A line-termination device designed to be connected by at least one line to at least one network-termination device, said line-termination device being arranged to transmit, via said line to at least one of said at least one network-termination device, frames comprising content data, and reconfiguration data specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of said frames and allowing a reconfiguration of a modem of said destination network-termination device.
A network-termination device designed to be connected by at least one line to a line-termination device, the network-termination device being arranged to receive, via said line, frames comprising content data originating from the network-termination device, and reconfiguration data originating from the line-termination device, said reconfiguration data being specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of said frames and allowing a reconfiguration of a modem of said network-termination device.
A computer program designed to be at least one of:
- a) stored in a memory of a line-termination device designed to be connected by at least one line to at least one network-termination device, b) stored on a memory medium designed to interact with a drive of said line-termination device, and c) downloaded, the program comprising instructions for executing the following steps:
- transmitting, via said line to at least one of said at least one network-termination device, frames comprising content data, and
- reconfiguration data specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of said frames and allowing a reconfiguration of a modem of said destination network-termination device.
A computer program designed to be at least one of:
- a) stored in a memory of a network-termination device designed to be connected by at least one line to a line-termination device, b) stored on a memory medium designed to interact with a drive of said network-termination device, and c) downloaded, the program comprising instructions for executing the following steps,
- receiving, via said line, frames comprising content data originating from the network-termination device,
- and reconfiguration data, originating from the line-termination device, said reconfiguration data being specific to a communication protocol to be used for the transmission of said frames and allowing a reconfiguration of a modem of said network-termination device.
