Patent ID: 7852782

Claim:
A method of creating a split terminal (T+ΣE n ) for accessing a service (S), said split terminal including a base terminal (T) and a plurality of equipments (E n ) connected in series to said base terminal (T), the base terminal (T) and said equipments (E n ) respectively having management devices (PA 0 , PA n ) for executing a split terminal procedure, wherein said method comprises: an initialization step including transmitting to the base terminal (T), by said service (S), the parameters for accessing said equipments (E n ), a plurality of successive iterative steps for creating a split terminal (T+ΣE n−1 )+E n by connecting the equipment E n to the split terminal T+ΣE n−1 created in the preceding step, each step comprising: transmitting, by the base terminal (T) to the equipment E n−1 , the parameters for accessing the equipment E n , setting up a communication between the management devices PA n−1 and PA n for executing the split terminal procedure for the equipments E n−1 and E n , and creating the split terminal (T+ΣE n−1 )+E n by executing the split terminal procedure between the management devices PA 0 and PA n via the management device PA n−1 .
