DCFirst Claim
1. A method for premises management networking of a premises management system, the method comprising:
- monitoring premises management devices connected to a gateway at a premises, wherein the premises management devices form a plurality of networks, wherein each network of the plurality of networks comprises a plurality of premises management devices forming an autonomous network that is separate and distinct from any other network of the plurality of networks;
controlling the premises management devices, the controlling comprising the gateway selectively forming and controlling an associative binding between the plurality of networks;
obtaining an assigned server address, and using the assigned server address for all subsequent uplink connections unless the assigned server address is changed later by the system;
initiating, by the gateway, all communications with a network operations center server using the assigned server address; and
communicating, during the communications between the gateway and the network operations center server, information associated with the premises management devices, wherein the assigned server address is an address associated with the network operations center server.
