Abstract
A method and system for activating at least one temporarily inactive network component of a network system for a vehicle central network device of the network system is connected via signals to the network component by a path inside the network system extending at least partially across a network segment of the network system. The network segment connecting, via signals, the network component and a first activation device associated therewith to a switch device arranged in the path and to a second activation device associated therewith in an unbranched manner. The central network device responds to the first activation device by of the switch device by sending a network function control signal.

15. A method for activating at least one temporarily inactive network component of a network system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
connecting, for signal communication, a central network device of the network system to the at least one temporarily inactive network component via a path inside the network system, which leads at least partially across a network segment of the network system; connecting, for signal communication, the at least one temporarily inactive network component and its associated first activation device via the network segment, the first activation device being connected in an unbranched configuration to a switch device and to an associated second activation device; addressing, by the central network device, the first activation device by the switch device by sending a network function control signal; and activating the at least one temporarily inactive network component by the first activation device in response to the network function control signal. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A network system of a vehicle, configured to activate at least one temporarily inactive network component, comprising:
-
a path within the network system, the path leading at least partially across a network segment of the network system; a switch device; a central network device connected to the at least one temporarily inactive network component for signal communication via the path within the network system; a first activation device associated with the at least one temporarily inactive network component and connected via the network segment for signal communication unbranched to the switch device and configured to be addressed by the central network device by a network function control signal sent by the switch device; and a second activation device associated with the switch device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
