Abstract:
1. Method for connecting an IEEE1394 compliant device to a cluster of IEEE1394 compliant devices connected to a first wired bus through a wireless link comprising a first wireless device connected to the first wired bus and a second wireless device connected to the IEEE 1394 compliant device, comprising: assigning identifiers to the devices connected to the first wired bus, including the first wireless device; transmitting, on the first wired bus, a message addressed to the IEEE 1394 compliant device by a device connected to the first wired bus, the message comprising an identifier using the identifier of the first wireless device; and forwarding the message by the first wireless device to the second wireless device, wherein the IEEE 1394 compliant device appears to be directly connected to the first wired bus to the devices on the first wired bus wherein for one of the first and second wireless devices: detecting a reset on a wired bus to which one of the first and second wireless devices is connected, and forwarding said reset to other one of the first and second wireless device.
