A method for activating at least one communication interface of a residential gateway of a local communication network to which a main item of equipment configured for connecting to the at least one communication interface of the residential gateway is connected is disclosed. This method is implemented by at least one secondary item of equipment configured for communicating with the at least one main item of equipment via a first wireless communication channel, and with the residential gateway via a second wireless communication channel associated with at least one other communication interface of the residential gateway. This method includes transmitting to the at least one main item of equipment, over the first wireless communication channel, of a message controlling the at least one main item of equipment, and transmitting to the residential gateway, over the second wireless communication channel, of a request to activate the at least one communication interface.

Method for activating a communication interface of a residential gateway in a local communication network, corresponding equipment and computer program

The invention relates to a system for protecting a communications network comprising a transport network () and end-channel equipment () such as routers each connected to said transport network () by connecting sections wherein said protective system is provided with first and second protective systems. Said invention is characterized in that for each communications channel between two pieces of said end-channel equipment (), the first protective system is activated when a failure is detected in said transport network () which emits a direct channel alarm message (AU-AIS) to equipment on the downstream end thereof, said second protective system is activated, after detection by end equipment of said channel () of a failure in the connection section connecting it to said transport network or when equipment () of the downstream end of said channel receives the direct or indirect alarm message (AU-AIS, AU-RDI) emitted by the transport network and the second protective system is activated, after reception of the direct alarm message (AU-AIS), with a delay longer than after detection of the failure on a second connection section between said transport network () and end-channel equipment (). A protection method carried out by said protective system is also disclosed.
