Abstract

A method, control node, gateway and computer programs in a communications network for enabling communication with a newly detected device connected to the network. The method comprises receiving a request message including an id associated with the newly detected device from a gateway, and retrieving configuration data associated with the device based on the id, from a device vendor database, where the device vendor database is indicated by the id. The method further comprises providing a resource in the communications network based on the configuration data, acknowledging the request message to the gateway, thereby enabling the device to communicate with the resource in the communications network.
