Abstract
A local area network including a controller connected to a transmission medium. A plurality of terminals are connected to the transmission medium to initiate a request for an address. Each of the terminals includes a means for locally generating and storing a random number. The random number is transmitted with an address request to the controller. The controller will assign an address to the requesting terminal and append to the assigned address the received random number. When the terminal receives the assigned address and determines that the appended random number is the same as that locally generated, the address is identified as the address of the requested terminal.
