Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing configuration information to terminals and network components within a network. In particular, a specialist is no longer necessary in order to exchange a terminal or a component for the network. The network user simply exchanges the terminal or the network component and places a configuration storage adapter in a serial interface of the replaced terminal or component, whereby the newly inserted terminal or network component is automatically provided with stored configuration information and the network can then be started.
