Method of Configuring Network Profile of Network System
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a network profile of a network system, the method comprising:
- (a) determining whether other network managers exist in a network system when a homenet profile of a network manager connected to a living network is in an initial state;
(b) the network manager receiving the homenet profiles of the other network managers to store the homenet profiles in its homenet profile when it is determined that the other network managers exist in the network system; and
(c) the network manager checking devices connected to the network system to receive device profiles of the checked devices and to generate its new network profile when it is determined that the other network managers do not exist in the network system.

Abstract
A method of configuring a network profile of a network system 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, a network manager configures a network, for example, checks devices connected to the living network, sets logical addresses, and sets other logical node parameters so that it is possible to effectively manage and control all of the devices connected to the network.
