SET-UP OF WIRELESS CONSUMER ELECTRONICS DEVICE USING A LEARNING REMOTE CONTROL

摘要

The invention relates to a device such as a remote controller for enabling the transfer of security parameters to a new device with built-in IR capability that is being installed on a secured wireless network. The security parameters comprise an encryption key used for encryption of communications over the network. The device comprises an entry device that enable a user to input the security parameters comprising at least an encryption key used for an encryption of communication over a wireless network. The security parameters are stored in a memory arrangement. The security parameters may then be further transmitted to the new device via an infrared signal respecting security parameters.
