Patent abstract
A WiFi-enabled embedded device boots as a first access point. The WiFi-enabled embedded device communicates with a first wireless station to receive configuration parameters while continuing to operate as an access point. The WiFi-enabled embedded device then applies the configuration parameters internally to cause the WiFi-enabled embedded device to operate as a second wireless station. In an embodiment, the first wireless station discovers a configuration service advertized by the WiFi-enabled embedded device using mDN/DNS-SD, and automatically provides the configuration parameters to the WiFi-enabled embedded device. Convenient provisioning of the WiFi-enabled embedded device is thus made possible.
