Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses and methods for providing network addressability for one or more logical entities associated with a communication interface of a tangible device in a network. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a media access control address of a communication interface is converted to an Internet Protocol address for a logical entity associated with the communication interface. When the apparatuses and methods of the present disclosure receive a communication signal including the converted Internet protocol address, the communication signal is provided to the logical entity associated with the Internet protocol address. In another aspect of the present disclosure, a user input received at a communication interface is mapped to an Internet protocol address to send a request to a logical entity.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n a first communication interface coupled to a first local area network, the first communication interface addressed using a first media access control address; a second communication interface coupled to a wide area network, wherein the second communication interface is addressed using an Internet protocol address format; a third communication interface coupled to a second local area network and to the processor, the third communication interface addressed using a second media access control address; a processor coupled to the first communication interface and the second communication interface, wherein the processor: converts the first media access control address to a first Internet Protocol address associated with a first logical entity; converts the second media access control address to a second Internet protocol address associated with a second logical entity; receives a communication signal from the first communication interface, the second communication interface, or the third communication interface, the communication signal including the first Internet protocol address or the second Internet protocol address; determines if the communication signal includes the first Internet protocol address or the second Internet protocol address; provides the communication signal to the first logical entity if the communication signal includes the first Internet protocol address; and provides the communication signal to the second logical entity if the communication signal includes the second Internet protocol address.
