• contact the registration server with a first contact request carried out using a first association number for the access point, wherein the first association number is pre-registered in the access point, which provides communication between the first user equipment and the registration server, based on the use of the first association number, until the association is completed;
• send a first association request for the association with the access point to the registration server;
• and
• provide a first authorization information for an authorization by the registration server.

• respond to a first contact request carried out using a first association number for the access point, provided by the first user equipment, wherein the first association number is pre-registered in the access point, which provides the communication between the first user equipment and the registration server, based on the use of the first association number, until the association is completed;
• receive a first association request for the association with the access point, provided by the first user equipment;
• authorize the first association request based on first authorization information provided by the first user equipment;
• and
• register the association between the first user equipment and the access point responsive to authorization of the first association request.

A computer program product for a access point to create, in a registration server, an association between a first user equipment and the access point, the access point having a access point memory and a processing unit, the access point memory comprises a computer program, which comprises a code means which when run on the access point causes the access point to:

• provide communication for a first contact request carried out using a first association number for the access point, between the first user equipment and the registration server, the communication being based on the use of the first association number, which is pre-registered in the access point, until the association is completed;
• forward a first association request for the association with the access point from the first user equipment to the registration server;
• and
• forward a first authorization information to the registration server.
