| 1. A method for separating multi home networks, comprising the steps of:
forming home network by interconnecting apparatuses in a house to communicate with one another;
setting a home code for each apparatus networked in the home network, wherein the home code uniquely identifies the home network
among a plurality of home networks, wherein said setting comprises:
designating the home code and an apparatus code, that are pre-designated during a manufacturing process in a plant as a temporary
apparatus code;
comparing the designated temporary apparatus code with an apparatus code connected to a home network;
if no apparatus having the same code with the designated temporary apparatus code exists, designating the designated temporary
apparatus code to a corresponding apparatus as its own code, and then setting on the corresponding apparatus;
if an apparatus having the same code with the designated temporary apparatus code exists, designating an arbitrary code randomly
through an apparatus that controls a home network; and
repeating the comparing step by using the designated arbitrary code as the designated temporary apparatus code until there
is no identical code present;
interconnecting the home networks formed for each house; and
generating a packet data including the home code, and performing communication among apparatuses by using the packet data
including the home code.
