First Claim
1. A method for setting a parameter in a first room in a structure, the structure having a network interconnecting a plurality of network access nodes which facilitate access to the network, selected rooms in the structure having network access nodes associated therewith, the first room having a first network access node associated therewith, the method comprising:
- transmitting control information corresponding to the parameter to the first network access node;
converting the control information into a control signal for controlling a control system associated with the parameter in the first room; and
controlling the control system to set the parameter in the first room in accordance with the converted control signal.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for providing access to a network via a first one of a plurality of network access nodes in the network. The network access nodes each have a network address associated therewith which is unique on the network, the first network access node having a first network address associated therewith. The first network address is associated with a first computer while the first computer is connected to the first network access node thereby providing access to the network.
