Automatic setup of parameters in networked devices
First Claim
1. A method of automatically configuring a first device, said first device communicatively coupled to a network, said method comprising:
- first identifying said first device using an application resident in a second device, said application capable of viewing one or more files in one or more directories of said first device;
second identifying a file from said one or more files using said application;
executing said file by way of said application to generate a user interface in said second data processing device; and
inputting one or more values or parameters by way of using said user interface.

Abstract
Various aspects of the invention provide one or more systems and methods that allow a user to efficiently setup and configure a data processing device. The various aspects of the invention facilitate ease of configuration by providing a user interface that allows a user to easily input one or more parameters. In one representative embodiment, the parameters input during the initialization process comprise the data processing device'"'"'s time, date, and time zone. In another representative embodiment, a system for automatically configuring one or more parameters in a device comprises a memory, one or more files stored in the memory, a first application used for viewing the one or more files, a second application used for processing the one or more files in which the processing is used to generate a user interface for configuring the one or more parameters of the device.
