1. A method for remote identification of a network node of a network, the network including a plurality of network nodes, the method comprising:
- receiving an activation signal by the network node, wherein each network node of the plurality of network nodes corresponds to an identifier; and
in response to receiving the activation signal, sending a message including information identifying the network node, wherein the identifier corresponding to the network node is determined by a remote node of the network based on the message.

Abstract
A method for remote identification of a network node of a network is described herein. The network includes a plurality of network nodes and each network node of the plurality of network nodes corresponds to an identifier. An activation signal is received by the network node. In response to receiving the activation signal, a message including information identifying the network node is sent. The identifier corresponding to the network node is determined by a remote node of the network based on the message.
