CONFIGURATION OF WIRELESS DEVICES

摘要

As one example, a method includes sending a request in a secure wireless network from a first device. The request includes a predetermined information element indicating the first device is capable of implementing a peer configuration method. In response to receiving a reply that includes the predetermined information element from at least one other device, which is already operating in the wireless network, the method also includes establishing a secure channel between the first device and the other device. The method also includes receiving at the first device network configuration data via the secure channel, the network configuration data sufficient to enable the first device to connect to the wireless network.
