Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an array for determining the IP addresses of a terminal array connected to an IP network by means of a telecommunication network. A pseudo-hardware address is administratively assigned as identifier to the subscriber connection of the terminal array. Said identifier is stored in the peripheral area of the telecommunication network and transmitted in an IP address request by the terminal array to a network management unit for assigning IP addresses. Said network management unit assigns an IP address using the identifier of the terminal connection and transmits said address to the terminal array.
