Description

Beschreibungdescription
Externes ModemExternal modem
Die Erfindung betrifft ein externes Modem gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an external modem according to the preamble of claim 1.
Bei der Verwendung derzeitiger externer Modems, z.B. eines analogen Modems für den Anschluss an eine Telefonleitung, sind bis zu drei Anschlussleitungen verwendet: eine zurWhen 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
Stromversorgung, eine zum Personal Computer (PC) als ein datenverarbeitendes Gerat und eine zur Telefondose. Die An- schlussleitung zum PC oder zur Telefondose ist meist noch recht lang, wenn der PC nicht in unmittelbarer Nahe zur Tele- fondose angeordnet ist.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.
Zur Verringerung der durch eine lange Verbmdungsleitung zwischen der Telefondose und dem PC hervorgerufenen Beeinträchtigungen kann diese Verbmdungsleitung entweder fest mstal- liert oder jeweils nur bei Bedarf ausgelegt werden.To reduce the impairment caused by a long connection line between the telephone socket and the PC, this connection line can either be permanently installed or can only be designed as required.
Im ersten Fall sind Installationsmaßnahmen erforderlich. Im zweiten Fall sind wiederholt Her- und Aufraumarbeiten durchzufuhren. Insgesamt ist daher die Verwendung von externen Mo- dems damit unpraktisch.In the first case, installation measures are required. In the second case, cleaning and tidying up work must be carried out repeatedly. Overall, the use of external modems is therefore impractical.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ausgehend von externen Modems der eingangs genannten Art technische Maßnahmen anzugeben, durch die die Verwendung externer Modems wesentlich verem- facht wird.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.
Gelost wird diese Aufgabe erfmdungsgemaß durch e externes Modem, das die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.This task is solved according to the invention by an external modem which has the characterizing features of claim 1.
Danach weist das externe Modem neben den em Standard-Modem bildenden Komponenten für einen Datenanschluss an e für die Datenübertragung spezialisiertes Datennetz noch ein Powerline Communication-Modem bildende Komponenten für den Anschluss an em auf die Energieversorgung für elektrische Gerate spezia¬ lisiertes Energieversorgungsnetz auf.Thereafter, 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.
Der Vorteil ist, dass für eine datentechnische Verbindung zwischen einem datenverarbeitenden Gerat, beispielsweise einem PC, und dem externen, mit dem auf eine Datenübertragung spezialisierten Datennetz verbundenen Modem keine nachtrag- lieh fest installierte oder jeweils bedarfsweise ausgelegte Verbmdungsleitung mehr benotigt wird, weil stattdessen die bereits aufgeräumt installierten Leitungen des auf die Energieversorgung elektrischer Gerate spezialisierten Energieversorgungsnetzes veiwendet werden, mit denen die einzelnen Ge- rate ohnehin wegen der Energieversorgung zu verbinden sind. Em ansonsten möglicher "Kabelsalat" ist verhindert. Nachträgliche Installationsmaßnahmen sind eingespart. Das Gesamtsystem ist übersichtlich.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.
Weiter vorteilhaft ist, dass die Entfernung zwischen dem datenverarbeitenden Gerat und dem externen Modem unkritisch ist. Es kann jede geeignete Steckdose unabhängig von der Entfernung genutzt werden. Außerdem können Komponenten wie z.B. Speichereinheiten, digitale Signalprozessoren und Stromver- sorgungselementen nur einmal vorgesehen werden, die dann von allen Komponenten des externen Modems nutzbar sind.It is also advantageous that 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.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteranspruchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
Danach weist das externe Modem einen im Gehäuse integrierten Netzstecker auf, so dass eine eigenständige Verbindungsleitung zum Energieversorgungsnetz ebenfalls entfallen kann. Es verbleibt dann nur noch die Verbmdungsleitung vom externen Modem zur z.B. Telefondose, die relativ kurz sein kann, weil eine nachstliegende Steckdose des Energieversorgungsnetzes verwendet werden kann. Weist das externe Modem auch noch eine im Gehäuse integrierte Steckdose auf, wird eine Steckdose des Energieversorgungsnetzes, m die das externe Modem eingesteckt ist, für einen Anschluss an das Energieversorgungsnetz durch ein weiteres elektrisches Gerat nicht blockiert.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.

At the same time, 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.
Entsprechendes gilt für das mit dem für eine Datenübertragung spezialisierten Datennetz DN verbundene Standard-Modem SM. Sowohl das Standard-Modem SM als auch das Powerline Communi- cation-Modem PLC-M haben intern eine datentechnische Verbindung m der Weise, dass zwischen dem Standard-Modem SM und dem Powerline Communication-Modem PLC-M Daten hin und her ausgetauscht werden können.The same applies to the standard modem SM connected to the data network DN specialized for data transmission. 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.

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
Steckdose STD eine direkte elektrische Verbindung miteinander haben, so dass ein in der Figur 2 nicht näher dargestelltes elektrisches Gerat m die Steckdose STD des Modems M eingesteckt werden kann, wenn das Modem M in einer Steckdose des Energieversorgungsnetzes EN eingesteckt ist. Eine Verbindungsleitung VL stellt eine Verbindung zu einem auf Datenübertragung spezialisierten Datennetz DN her. Diese Verbmdungsleitung ist gleichzeitig die einzige Leitung, die fest mit dem Modem M gemäß der Figur 2 verbunden ist. Die Verbm- düng des Standard-Modems SM und des Powerline Communication- Modems PLC-M ist m der Integration der beiden Modems intern enthalten. Das Powerline Communication-Modem PLC-M ist außerdem mit dem Stecker ST des Modems M verbunden.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.
