US 2022/0104032 A1 · ENHANCED CONFIGURING OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN A NETWORK

Abstract

An electronic device included in a network enhances the configuring of other electronic devices in the network. The electronic device includes a network interface, a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to transmit a first set of configuration data to another electronic device in the network, receive a message that the other electronic device was successfully configured using the first set of configuration data, and in response to the message transmit one or more next sets of configuration data to the other electronic device. Moreover, the hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to receive a message that the other electronic device was not successfully configured using the first set of configuration data or the one or more next sets of configuration data and implement remedial action to address the unsuccessful configuration.

Dependent claims

An electronic device included in a network capable of enhancing configuration of other electronic devices in the network comprising:

a network interface;
a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon;
and
a hardware processor configured to execute the instructions to:
transmit, using the network interface, a first set of configuration data to another electronic device in the network;
receive, using the network interface, a message that the other electronic device was successfully configured using the first set of configuration data;
in response to the message, transmit, using the network interface, one or more sets of second configuration data to the other electronic device;
receive, using the network interface, a message that the other electronic device was not successfully configured using the first set of configuration data or the one or more sets of second configuration data;
and
in response to the message that the other electronic device was not successfully configured, implement remedial action to address the unsuccessful configuration.

7 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in an electronic device for enhancing configuration of electronic devices included in a network, the network communicatively connecting the electronic device and one or more other electronic devices, the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions which when executed by a hardware processor cause the non-transitory recording medium to perform steps comprising:

transmitting a first set of configuration data to another electronic device in the network;
in response to receiving a message that the other electronic device was successfully configured using the first set of configuration data, transmitting one or more sets of second configuration data to the other electronic device;
and
in response to receiving a message that the other electronic device was not successfully configured using the first set of configuration data or the one or more sets of second configuration data, implementing remedial action to address the unsuccessful configuration.
