Abstract
The present method and electronic device are adapted for secured commissioning. A generic password is stored in memory of the electronic device, and a transmission power of the electronic device is set to a reduced transmission power. The electronic device receives a commissioning request including the generic password and a specific password. The generic password is replaced in the memory of the electronic device by the specific password, and the transmission power of the electronic device is increased to full transmission power.
Claims16
A method for securely commissioning an electronic device, the method comprising:
- keeping the electronic device transmitting at a reduced transmission power until a generic password stored in a memory of the electronic device is replaced;
- receiving at the electronic device a commissioning request, the commissioning request including a specific password;
- verifying that the commissioning request includes the generic password;
- when the commissioning request includes the generic password:
- the electronic device replaces in the memory the generic password with the specific password;
- and
- when the generic password in the memory is replaced by the specific password:
- the electronic device increases the transmission power to full transmission power.
An electronic device comprising:
- memory storing a generic password;
- a transceiving unit capable of transmitting at a reduced transmission power and at a full transmission power;
- and
- a processor for:
- keeping the transceiving unit transmitting at the reduced transmission power until the generic password stored in the memory is replaced;
- receiving via the transceiving unit a commissioning request, the commissioning request including a specific password;
- verifying that the commissioning request includes the generic password;
- when the commissioning request includes the generic password:
- replacing the generic password stored in the memory with the specific password;
- and
- when the generic password in the memory is replaced by the specific password:
- increasing the transmission power of the transceiving unit to the full transmission power.
