Abstract
The present invention is related to verifying an installed lighting system (), in particular an Ethernet-based lighting system (), without it being necessary to employ a designated lighting controller and allowing the automatic commissioning of the installed lighting system (). According to an aspect of the invention, this is achieved by providing a network switch () that comprises a plurality of ports for coupling luminaires (A,B,C,D) and sensors and or actuators (A,B) of the lighting system () to the network switch (); and by setting the network switch () such that a signal received at a first port (e.g. port) of the plurality of ports is only forwarded to pre-selected ports (e.g. portsand) of the plurality of ports.
