Publication number: 20160165439Abstract: A peripheral device for establishing a network connection with a gateway is disclosed, and includes a request module and a configuration logic. The request module sends a request for identification and receives an authenticator responsive to sending the request for identification. The authenticator includes data indicative of predefined settings of the gateway. The configuration logic is in data communication with a plurality of configurations stored within a memory of the peripheral device. In response to receiving the predefined settings from the request module, the configuration logic selects a specific configuration from the plurality of configurations, where the specific configuration defines a set of attributes that correspond to the predefined settings of the gateway. The configuration logic also activates the specific configuration once the specific configuration has been selected.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2014Publication date: June 9, 2016Applicant: Technical Consumer Products, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Chen, Dustin Cairns
