SECURE AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF EQUIPMENT THROUGH REPLICATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for replicating configuration information, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a request for the configuration information used to configure the apparatus to be replicated in at least a first device;
a processing system configured to operate the apparatus based on the configuration information, wherein the operation is controlled by a second device; and
a transmitter configured to communicate the configuration information to the first device, in response to the request.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for secure automatic configuration of equipment through replication. One example method generally includes receiving a request for configuration information used to configure at least a first device to be replicated in at least a second device; and communicating the configuration information to the second device, in response to the request. At least one of the first and second wireless devices may be a medical device, and/or the configuration information may include patient treatment information. In this manner, the amount of configuration data entry by a caregiver and the number of errors in this configuration data are most likely considerably reduced. Furthermore, in an emergency, a common medical treatment may be easily configured for many patients at once (i.e., the configuration information may be easily replicated from patient device to patient device).
