Abstract
A method for pairing a first terminal, called an initiator terminal seeking to transmit and receive data, with a second terminal, called an acceptor terminal. Such a method includes: placing an external surface connector of the initiator terminal on a complementary external surface connector of the acceptor terminal delivering a piece of data to the initiator terminal about the presence of the acceptor terminal; determining, by the initiator terminal, of a parameter of connection; and pairing the initiator terminal with the acceptor terminal according to a mode of pairing depending on the determined parameter of connection.
