CONFIGURING SECURE WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method for adding a new wireless IP device to a secure wireless network comprising:
- receiving, at a security system management device, protocol and key information for establishing a connection as a client device to the wireless IP device, wherein the protocol and key information is received in response to a user transmitting an identifier for the IP device to a service provider system;
establishing communication with the wireless IP device, wherein the wireless IP device is acting as an access point device;
exchanging keys with the wireless IP device;
rebooting the security system management device to become an access point for the secure wireless network; and
establishing communication with the wireless IP device, wherein the wireless IP device has become a wireless client.

9. A system comprising:
-
a security system management device, wherein the security system management device manages a particular secure wireless network; a wireless internet protocol (IP) device to be added to the secure wireless network; and a mobile device, wherein the IP device is activated using the mobile device including transmitting an identifier associated with the IP device to an external service provider system, wherein the security system management device receives protocol and key information for the IP device in response to the mobile device transmission, and wherein responsive to the received protocol the security system is configured as a WiFi client that seeks to communicate with the IP device, wherein the IP device is acting as an access point; wherein the IP device receives key information such that the IP device and security system manager exchange keys; and wherein after the key exchange, the security system manager reboots to become an access point for the network and the IP device reboots to become a wireless client for the network.
