Abstract
A system includes radio devices where radio links between the devices are configured by bringing the radio devices in close proximity for a few seconds. A proximity detector of a radio device detects the proximity of another radio device and an automatic registration process begins to configure a link between the devices. One-to-one or one-to-many links may be established. Links may be cancelled by repeating the process. The devices may include an indicator to indicate establishment of the link.
