Abstract
A wireless device receives, from a configurator device, a managed object that includes information indicating which of different provisioning techniques is to be used to provision the wireless device. The wireless device determines, based on the information, a particular provisioning technique of the different provisioning techniques to use.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- sending, by a wireless device to a configurator device, information indicating a Wi-Fi technology that the wireless device supports;
- receiving, by the wireless device from the configurator device that has a wireless interface, a managed object comprising a Wi-Fi technology field included in the managed object by the configurator device, the Wi-Fi technology field set to a value of different values to indicate the Wi-Fi technology that is to be provisioned, the different values selected from a group consisting of a value for a Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) technology, and a value for a Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) technology, wherein the managed object is wirelessly received over an authenticated link between the configurator device and the wireless device;
- and
- performing, by the wireless device, provisioning of the wireless device according to the value of the Wi-Fi technology field indicated by the managed object.
1 more element
A configurator device comprising:
- a wireless interface to communicate wirelessly with a wireless device;
- and
- at least one hardware processor configured to:
- receive information from the wireless device, wherein the received information indicates a Wi-Fi technology that the wireless device supports;
- in response to the received information, include, in a managed object, a Wi-Fi technology field set to a value of different values to indicate the Wi-Fi technology that is to be provisioned, the different values selected from a group consisting of a value for a Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) technology, and a value for a Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) technology;
- and
- cause sending of the managed object to the wireless device to cause the wireless device to perform provisioning according to the value of the Wi-Fi technology field indicated by the managed object.
4 more elements
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a configurator device to:
- receive information from a wireless device, wherein the received information Indicates a Wi-Fi technology that the wireless device supports;
- in response to the received information, include, in a managed object, a Wi-Fi technology field set to a value of different values to indicate the Wi-Fi technology that is to be provisioned, the different values selected from a group consisting of a value for a Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) technology, and a value for a Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) technology;
- and
- cause sending of the managed object to the wireless device to cause the wireless device to perform provisioning according to the value of the Wi-Fi technology field indicated by the managed object.
