Abstract:
A method for setting up data communication with a first communication means having a first protocol module for data communication via a communication protocol, the first protocol module including program code able to be executed by a control means of the first communication means, said method comprising:transmission by a second communication means of a target protocol property of a second protocol module to a test means that includes a controller, a communicator for transmission and reception between said first communication means and said second communication means and an instruction in a memory, determination by the first communication means of an actual protocol property of the first protocol module, transmission by the first communication means to the test means of the actual protocol property, comparison by the test means of the actual protocol property with the target protocol property, and transmission by the test means of an instruction to the first communication means to install a third protocol module, which comprises program code able to be executed by the control means of the first communication means for data communication in a manner dependent on the target protocol property, wherein, subsequent to the installation of the third protocol module, the first communication means communicates data to the second communication means without passing the data through the test means.
