Configuring an embedded electronic device by reading a radiofrequency tag

An electronic device intended to be inserted into a frame of an airplane, the electronic device comprising:

• a connector configured for connection with a connection system of a frame;
• a radiofrequency tag reader configured to read a radiofrequency tag having a configuration information item when the electronic device is inserted into the frame, the electronic device being configured to, in a phase of configuration of the electronic device:
• obtain location configuration information encoded in the connection system of the frame;
• read the configuration information item via the radiofrequency tag reader;
• and
• determine a configuration of the electronic device as a function of the configuration information item read via the radio frequency tag reader and the location configuration information obtained from the connection system.

A method for configuring an electronic device intended to be inserted into a frame of an airplane, the electronic device having a radiofrequency tag reader, a radiofrequency tag being fixed to the frame such that the radiofrequency tag reader can read said radiofrequency tag when the electronic device is inserted into the frame, the method being executed by the electronic device and comprising:

• obtaining location configuration information encoded in the connection system of the frame;
• reading the configuration information item via the radiofrequency tag reader;
• and
• determining a configuration of the electronic device as a function of the configuration information item read via the radiofrequency tag reader and the location configuration information obtained from the connection system.
