Abstract
An appliance includes a physical interface for communication according to a broad protocol and two functional components. The first functional component communicates via the physical interface. The second functional component includes a functional module adapted to communicate according to a narrow protocol and an emulation module that transforms between the two protocols so that the two functional components can communicate with each other using the physical interface.
