Patent ID: 7698440

Claim:
A method for controlling a transmission system by adjusting one or more of its components comprising at least one interface unit and at least one adjustable device, the method comprising the steps of: configuring the at least one interface unit according to interface configuration parameters, enabling the at least one interface unit to function/operate according to the interface configuration parameters and to transmit data via a first link in a manner according to the interface configuration parameters, transmitting device configuration parameters from the at least one interface unit to the at least one adjustable device via a second link, configuring the at least one adjustable device according to the device configuration parameters, enabling the at least one adjustable device to function/operate according to the device configuration parameters and to transmit data via the second link in a manner according to the interface configuration parameters, transmitting the interface configuration parameters from the at least one interface unit to at least one further interface unit via a third link, configuring the at least one further interface unit according to the configuration parameters, enabling the at least one further interface unit according to the configuration parameters, transmitting device configuration parameters from the at least one further interface units to at least one further adjustable device via a fourth link, configuring the at least one further adjustable device according to the device configuration parameters, and enabling the at least one further adjustable device according to the device configuration parameters in order to transmit data via the fourth link.
