Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for configuring a wireless communication module (220) for optimal performance with a portable communication handset (210). When coupling of a portable electronic handset (210) and a wireless communication module (220) is detected (602, 702) the portable electronic handset (210) uploads configuration information (604, 606, 608, 610) to the wireless communication module (220). The wireless communication module (220) receives the configuration information (704, 706, 708, 710) from the portable communication device (210) and configures the operational parameters of the wireless communication module (220) in response to the configuration information (714, 716, 718, 720).
