Abstract
An apparatus for configuration of a second communication device intended to replace a first communication device, including: a mechanical part adapted to complete the structure of the first communication device and the structure of the second communication device, and a RFID tag linked to a processing unit and a memory. The RFID tag includes a receiver configured to receive a first input signal from a first RFID reading device located in the first communication device, wherein the first input signal includes configuration data of the first communication device, when the apparatus is linked to the first communication device. The processing unit is configured to store the configuration data in the memory. The receiver is further configured to receive a second input signal from a second RFID reading device located in the second communication device, wherein the second input signal includes a request for configuration data, when the apparatus is linked to the second communication device. The processing unit is configured to retrieve the configuration data in the memory. The RFID tag includes a transmitter configured to transmit an output signal to the second RFID reading device, wherein the output signal includes the configuration data.
