Abstract
A method of updating at least two interconnected devices in a local network, a local network comprising at least two interconnected devices and a method of operating a remote management client and a device in this local network are provided. A resource location information of an update archive is communicated from a remote management client in the local network to the other devices in said network. The devices participating in the update communicate participation acknowledgement messages to the remote management client. The participating devices determine whether a next one of a predefined sequence of update statuses is reached. They notify the other participating devices that this update status has been reached and pause until all other participating devices have notified that they also have reached the same update status.
