1. A method of automatically bonding a machine-to-machine (M2M) device and an M2M gateway device, both associated with a user for secured wireless transfer of data between the two devices, said M2M gateway device being capable of exchanging data with a remote system over a communications network, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving an identifier for the M2M gateway device; (b) configuring a gateway emulation device with the identifier of the M2M gateway device to emulate the M2M gateway device; (c) pairing the gateway emulation device to the M2M device to generate a key for encrypting data exchanged by the gateway emulation device and the M2M device, and to store the identifier for the M2M gateway device and the key on the M2M device; (d) sending the M2M device to the user; and (e) transmitting the key and the identifier of the M2M device to the M2M gateway device over the communications network to enable the M2M gateway device to have a preconfigured wireless bond to the M2M device when the M2M device and the M2M gateway device are located within a connection range. |
