Configuring disconnected devices using predefined network configuration

An access device for distributing data to target devices using predefined network configuration, comprising:

• at least one network interface for connecting to at least one network;
• and
• at least one processor adapted to execute a code, the code comprising:
• code instructions to broadcast at least one predefined network identifier via at least one network accessible to at least one target device, the at least one predefined network identifier identifies the access device in the at least one network;
• code instructions to receive a connection request from the at least one target device to join the at least one network according to the at least one predefined network identifier;
• code instructions to establish a communication session with the at least one target device via the at least one network;
• code instructions to receive at least one update request for at least one update package from the at least one target device;
• and
• code instructions to transmit, responsive to determination that the at least one update package is available to the access device, transmit the at least one update package to the at least one target device which is adapted to apply the received at least one update package;
• wherein the at least one target device is a device that normally operates disconnected from any network and connects to the at least one network periodically to check for updates.

A method of downloading data from an access device using predefined network configuration, comprising:

• using at least one processor of a target device for:
• probing at least one network for at least one predefined network identifier associated with at least one access device;
• transmitting, responsive to detection of the at least one predefined network identifier, a connection request to the at least one access device for joining the at least one network;
• establishing a communication session with the at least one access device via the at least one network;
• transmitting to the at least one access device at least one update request for at least one update package;
• receiving the at least one update package from the at least one access device;
• and
• applying the received at least one update package;
• wherein the at least one target device is a device that normally operates disconnected from any network and connects to the at least one network periodically to check for updates.
