Step 52, sending an update command carrying the sub-configuration information to the proxy node; wherein, the update command also carries the information of the mapping relation; and the information of the mapping relation indicates the relation between the sub-configuration information and the functional module.

In one embodiment, each network node includes a plurality of functional modules, such as a wireless module, a communication module, an authentication module, and the like. The sub-configuration information is used for configuring a functional module. For example, if the sub-configuration information is configuration information of the wireless module, the sub-configuration information may configure a power parameter of the wireless module. If the sub-configuration information is the configuration information of the communication module, the sub-configuration information may configure the communication frequency of the communication module. If the sub-configuration information is the configuration information of the authentication module, the sub-configuration information may configure password information and account information of the authentication module.

In one embodiment, the update command further carries information of a mapping relationship; and the information of the mapping relation indicates the relation between the sub-configuration information and the functional module.

Here, after receiving the update command carrying the sub-configuration information, the proxy node may configure the function module based on the sub-configuration information and a mapping relationship between the sub-configuration information and the function module. Here, the mapping relationship may be carried in the update command or may be stored in the proxy node in advance.

As shown in fig. 6, in this embodiment, a method for updating configuration is provided, where the method is applied to a master node in a Mesh network, and the method includes:

Step 61, generating standard configuration information of the sub-configuration information by using a coding rule; wherein the standard configuration information is configuration information with a predetermined format;

and step 62, sending an update command carrying the standard configuration information to the proxy node of the main control node.

In one embodiment, the encoding rules of the master node correspond to the decoding rules of the proxy node. After the proxy node receives the update command carrying the standard configuration information, the standard configuration information can be decoded by utilizing a decoding rule to obtain the sub-configuration information.

In one embodiment, the master node encodes the sub-configuration information using encoding rules; and sending an update command carrying the encoded standard configuration information to the proxy node. After receiving the update command carrying the encoded standard configuration information, the proxy node can decode the encoded standard configuration information by utilizing the encoding rule to obtain the sub-configuration information. Here, since the master node and the proxy node encode and decode the sub-configuration information by using the same set of encoding rules, there is no problem that the sub-configuration information between the proxy node and the master node is not compatible.

Here, since the standard configuration information of the sub configuration information is generated based on the same set of encoding rules, an incompatibility problem does not occur when different functional modules of the proxy node are configured using the standard configuration information.

Thus, it is possible to determine whether the sub-configuration information is identical or not based on the configuration identification of any two words of configuration information.

For example, if the configuration of the first sub-configuration information is identified as a, and the configuration of the second sub-configuration information is identified as B, the first sub-configuration information and the second sub-configuration information are different sub-configuration information. For another example, if the configuration identifier of the first sub-configuration information is a and the configuration identifier of the second sub-configuration information is a, the first sub-configuration information and the second sub-configuration information are the same sub-configuration information.

And determining that the sub-configuration information of the first functional module of the main control node is the same as the sub-configuration information of the first functional module of the proxy node in response to the configuration identifier of the first functional module of the main control node being the same as the received feedback configuration identifier. And determining that the sub-configuration information of the first functional module of the main control node is different from the sub-configuration information of the first functional module of the proxy node in response to the configuration identifier of the functional module of the main control node being different from the received feedback configuration identifier.
