Abstract
A wireless component is authenticated to an in-home wireless entertainment system server by simultaneously or near-simultaneously holding down buttons on the component and server and transmitting a component ID (or encryption results generated from the key) to the server. The server then indicates 'authenticated', and the component can subsequently access the system using its ID.
