Abstract: Remote configuration of an industrial or remote telemetry device using sound. Acoustic energy directed from a remote programming device to a remote industrial or telemetry device has tones indicating a request to establish communication. By directing further acoustic energy from the remote programming device to the remote industrial or telemetry device, the remote programming device requests information relating to a current configuration of the remote industrial or telemetry device. The remote industrial or telemetry device processes the tones to identify the request and replies with acoustic energy that has associated tones indicating the information relating to the current configuration of the remote industrial or telemetry device.

Abstract: Method and system for provisioning industrial assets. A provisioning server processes location data and an identifier associated with a selected industrial asset for verifying a presence of the asset within a predefined area and for determining a feature set for the asset. The location data is indicative of a location of the asset and the identifier identifies the asset and has the feature set associated therewith. The provisioning server then retrieves a license and/or configuration corresponding to the feature set for the asset from the repository in response to the asset being located within the predefined area. The provisioning server provisions the asset with the retrieved license and/or configuration.
