Abstract
The invention relates to a method for configuring a device in a local area network using a gateway. The gateway is being communicatively coupled to a remote management server outside the local area network. The local area network comprises a protected portion and an unprotected portion. The method comprises the following actions: First a connection request is received from a user device. The user device is provided with an address that enables the user device to establish a connection with the gateway within the unprotected portion of the local area network. Then a configuration request is received from the user device, in which the configuration request includes device information. Network information is appended to the configuration request and the appended configuration request is sent to the remote management server. In response a configuration response message is received. The response message includes the configuration data from the remote management server. Finally, configuration of the user device is established within the protected portion of the local area network using the configuration data.
