ABSTRACT:
A power supply distributor permits to broadcast data received in phantom mode at one of its port to at least few of the other ports such that the respective apparatus connected to the power supply distributor will receive them. The power supply distributor includes modems for at least few of the communications links, while the modems are connected between each other through a multiplexer. Optionally, the multiplexer is setup with a switching function. This enables advantageously to select the ports to which received data in phantom mode will be forwarded allowing to buildup a communications link between different apparatus, such link being based solely on transmission of data in phantom mode. Such links can be setup in a bi-directional modus between at least two apparatus. A ghost network is designed which is mapped on an existing network and based on transmission of data in a phantom mode.
