System and Method for Configuring a Network
First Claim
1. A system for configuring a network, comprising:
- a network access point; and
an information handling system communicatively coupled to the network access point and including a computer-readable medium having stored thereon identifying information associated with one or more network devices, the identifying information being stored in the computer-readable medium prior to delivery to a user;
wherein at least one of the network access point and the information handling system determines whether the identifying information handling system is associated with the network access point; and
wherein the network access point and the information handling system cooperate to automatically configure network parameters for communication between the network access point and the information handling system in response to a determination that the identifying information stored on the information handling system is associated with the network access point.

Abstract
A system and method for configuring a network are disclosed. A method may include storing identifying information associated with one or more network devices on a computer-readable medium in an information handling system prior to delivery of the information handling system to a user. The method may also include determining whether the identifying information stored on the information handling system is associated with the network access point. The method may further include automatically configuring network parameters for communication between the network access point and the information handling system in response to a determination that the identifying information stored on the information handling system is associated with the network access point.
