Embodiment Construction

[0070] In Fig. 2, the represented blocks are purely functional entities, which do not necessarily correspond to physically separate entities. That is, these purely functional entities may be developed in software or implemented in one or more integrated circuits.

[0071]The WLAN 1 (FIG. 1) comprises a modem 2 for forming an access point for clients to the WLAN. Another device other than a modem can be used for the access point (eg, a router or gateway), and two or more access points can be present in a WLAN. In the expression, multiple clients S1, S2 and S3 are already associated with WLAN network 1 (using the user's local configuration). The modem 2 has an association device 5 which is activated for any new association.

[0072] A potential new client 3 (not yet configured in the user's configuration) constitutes a station communicating with the modem 2 to associate with the WLAN 1 .

[0073] More specifically, the associated device 5 includes the following parts (Fig. 2)...

Abstract

The present invention concerns WLAN association device (5) and process for associating a new station (3) to a WLAN (1), via a central apparatus (2). The association device comprises receiving (11) and sending (12) means for exchanging signals between the station and central apparatus, recording means (14) for recording the station as part of the WLAN, under wireless exchanges between the station and central apparatus initiated by an association request sent by the station, and management means (16) for managing the identity of the WLAN. The association device comprises time window means (15) triggering the opening of a time window, the recording means being able to be initially activated only during the opening of that time window. Further, the management means automatically activates a temporary service set identifier for the recording of the station during the time window.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wireless local area network associated device and method, as well as related products. Background technique [0002] In order for a new product to associate in a wireless local area network (referred to here as a WLAN), it is generally necessary to have an access point node in the network provided by one of the devices in the network. Obviously, the device may be a modem, such as a DSL modem (for "Digital Subscriber Line"). For example, the products to be connected to form a new node could be wireless set-top boxes, video streaming, Internet audio devices, VoIP phones (for "Voice over Internet Protocol"), or other wireless clients. [0003] Two different standards are believed to be important for wireless association. First of all, it is recommended that the operations to be performed by the user be kept friendly and not require many and complicated actions. Second, association is risky because unauthorized persons may att...
