A method for the automatic configuration of portable terminals, comprises the steps of detecting the geographical position of at least two portable terminals (T-T) and configuring said at least two portable terminals (T-T) on the basis of the respective geographical position which has been detected. The configuration of said at least two portable terminals (T-T) comprises: configuring at least one first terminal (T; T) with predetermined configuration parameters selected on the basis of the respective geographical position, detecting a condition of geographical proximity of at least one second terminal (T-T) with respect to said at least one first terminal (T; T) and at least partially cloning said at least one first terminal (T; T) into said at least one second terminal (T-T).

Method for the automatic configuration of portable terminals

A portable terminal for the acquisition of product data, for example in a point of sale or in a collection, distribution and/or storage point, includes a coded information reader, a user interface, and an interface for the logical connection with an external control station. Advantageously, the terminal also includes an interface for the wireless connection with cellular devices and/or telephones and/or PDAs and at least one internal management unit for the activation of the interface. The interface allows establishing a wireless connection with a single pre-identified cellular device and/or telephone and/or PDA, i.e., recognized following a recognition procedure. The terminal is then configured as a peripheral device of the pre-identified cellular device.
