Patent Number: 9198257 
Title: Lighting System and Method of Retrieving Status Information of a Lighting System 
Abstract:

A method of retrieving status information of a lighting system includes propagating a command signal from a controller to a node of the lighting system by operating upstream transceivers that are upstream of the node in a transmitting mode and operating downstream transceivers that are upstream of the node in a receiving mode; propagating a reply signal including the status information of the LED unit of the node from the node to the controller by operating the upstream transceivers that are upstream of the node in a receiving mode and operating each of the downstream transceivers upstream of the node in a transmitting mode and reversing an operating mode of an upstream transceiver of a network segment from operating in a transmitting mode to operating in a receiving mode only when the downstream transceiver is operating in transmitting mode.
