Definitions

  • the invention relates to an external modem according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection lines When using current external modems, e.g. of an analog modem for connection to a telephone line, up to three connection lines are used: one for
  • Power supply one to the personal computer (PC) as a data processing device and one to the telephone socket.
  • the connection line to the PC or the telephone socket is usually still quite long if the PC is not located in the immediate vicinity of the telephone socket.
  • this connection line can either be permanently installed or can only be designed as required.
  • the object of the invention is to provide technical measures based on external modems of the type mentioned at the outset by which the use of external modems is considerably simplified.
  • the external modem in addition to the components forming the standard modem, for a data connection to e for Data transfer specialized data grid, a power line communication modem visual components for connection to em on the power supply for electrical equipment spezia ⁇ ized power grid on.
  • the advantage is that for a data connection between a data processing device, for example a PC, and the external modem, which is connected to the data network specializing in data transmission, there is no longer a need for a permanently installed or, if necessary, configured connection line, because instead the line is already tidily installed lines of the energy supply network specializing in the energy supply of electrical devices can be used, with which the individual devices are to be connected anyway because of the energy supply. An otherwise possible "cable clutter" is prevented. Subsequent installation measures are saved. The overall system is clear.
  • the distance between the data processing device and the external modem is not critical. Any suitable socket can be used regardless of the distance. Components such as Storage units, digital signal processors and power supply elements are provided only once and can then be used by all components of the external modem.
  • the external modem then has a power plug integrated in the housing, so that an independent connection line to the power supply network can also be dispensed with. All that remains then is the connection line from the external modem to the telephone socket, for example, which can be relatively short because a socket in the power supply network can be used.
  • the external modem also has one socket integrated in the housing, a socket of the power supply network, which the external modem is plugged in, is not blocked by a further electrical device for connection to the power supply network.
  • FIG. 1 shows a basic circuit of a modem according to the invention
  • Figure 2 em exemplary embodiment of a modem according to the figure 1 m Prmzipdar ein.
  • the modem M u shown in FIG. 1 comprises a standard modem SM and a powerline communication modem PLC-M in a single housing.
  • the standard modem SM has a first interface SI for establishing a connection to a data network DN specialized in data transmission.
  • the Powerline Communication Modem PLC-M has a second interface S2 for establishing a connection to an energy supply network EN specialized for the energy supply of electrical devices.
  • the modem M is supplied with electrical energy by connecting the modem M to the energy supply network EN.
  • the modem M is enabled by the integrated Powerline Communication Modem PLC-M m to connect electronically represented data for data transmission via the energy supply network EN to the energy supply network EN.
  • the modem M is further able to fill out data transmitted on the energy supply network EN by the Powerline Communication Modem PLC-M.
  • Both the standard modem SM and the powerline communication modem PLC-M have an internal data connection in such a way that between the standard modem SM and the Powerline Communication Modem PLC-M data can be exchanged back and forth.
  • the specialized data network can be, for example, the analog telephone line with the a / b wires contained therein. It can also be an ISDN or xDSL line. For example, the (TV) cable that is used as a television connection is also possible.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the modem M according to FIG. 1. It includes a housing that has an integrated plug ST on one side for connection to the power supply network EN and an integrated socket on the opposite side. FIG. 2 does not explicitly show that the connector ST and the
  • Socket STD have a direct electrical connection with one another, so that an electrical device m (not shown in FIG. 2) can be plugged into socket STD of modem M when modem M is plugged into a socket of energy supply network EN.
  • a connecting line VL establishes a connection to a data network DN specializing in data transmission. This connection line is also the only line that is permanently connected to the modem M according to FIG. 2.
  • the connection of the standard modem SM and the powerline communication modem PLC-M is included internally when the two modems are integrated.
  • the Powerline Communication Modem PLC-M is also connected to the ST connector of the modem M.
  • the modem M according to FIG. 2 also has components K which are common to the standard modem SM and the powerline communication modem PLC-M.
  • Such components are, for example, a data memory, a digital signal processor and power supply elements.
  • the modem M is used as intended in accordance with FIGS. 1 or 2, there is a data connection to the energy supply network EN via the external connection line VL, for example the analog telephone line, via the standard modem SM and powerline communication modem PLC-M the 230V low-voltage network is implemented.
  • a PC or other terminal device can now access the data made available via its own connection to the energy supply network EN without the need for an additional cable or an additional connection in addition to the network connection.
  • the prerequisite is that there is also a Powerline Communication Modem in the PC or the relevant end device, which converts the data from the energy supply network EN to any other data format.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un modem externe (M) d'utilisation simple. Le modem (M) présente, en plus d'un élément formant un modem standard (SM), destiné à la connexion à un réseau de données (DN) spécialisé dans la transmission de données, un élément formant un modem de communication à ligne électrique (PLC-M), destiné à la connexion à un réseau d'alimentation en énergie (EN) spécialisé dans l'alimentation en énergie électrique d'appareils électriques. Le modem (M) fait appel pour sa connexion à un nombre inférieur de câbles, les lignes du réseau d'alimentation en énergie (EN) étant utilisées à cet effet.
