Abstract

A method of commissioning wireless network devices in a communication network includes assigning a user-defined number to a wireless network device. The method further includes generating, by the wireless network device, an identification number based on the user-defined number using a first hashing algorithm, generating, by the wireless network device, an encryption key based on the user-defined number using a second hashing algorithm, and transmitting, by the wireless network device, a message that is encrypted using the encryption key for joining the wireless network device to the communication network. The user-defined number is to be provided by a user using an input device that is coupled to, or integral to, the wireless network device.
