Abstract
A wireless network system and a method of commissioning a wireless network system is described. The network system comprises at least a network device () and a joining device (). The network device () comprises a communication interface () for transmitting and receiving data over a wireless medium and a first network address of a first network system (). The joining device () comprises a communication interface () for transmitting and receiving data over a wireless medium, a second network address of a second network system () and a configuration memory () for storing at least a network address. The network device () and the joining device () are configured for operation in a discovery mode, in which said joining device () broadcasts a discovery message. Said network device () upon reception of said discovery message enters a commissioning mode, in which the network device () provides joining information to said joining device (), comprising at least a third network address of said first network system (). The joining device () accordingly stores said joining information in said configuration memory (), so that said joining device () is addressable in said first network system () and said second network system ().
