Abstract
The invention relates to a signaling method for a network system. In this solution, a common analog read signal is fed via a signaling channel to all nodal units under control of a control unit. The read signal is modified by modification means units at each nodal unit for identification of the nodal unit and data indicating the state of each nodal unit is added to the read signal. In the control unit, the state of each nodal unit is determined based on the modification made and the read signal.
