  • Publication number: 20210371232
    Abstract: A method of configuring an elevator system (1), includes positioning a wireless communication device (4, 4?) on or within an elevator car (2). When the elevator car (2) is in the vicinity of a landing floor (8a) of the elevator system (1), the wireless communication device (4, 4?) transmits data comprising a unique identification code, or part thereof (26, 44) to a landing fixture (10a, 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a) on the landing floor (8a). The landing fixture (10a, 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a) receives the data. The method further includes, based on the received data, the landing fixture (10a, 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a) storing the unique identification code (44).
