Method and system for setting parameters of a field station in a communications network
First Claim
1. Method for setting a value of a parameter of a field station equipped with an antenna for exchanging data in a contactless manner through inductive RFID technology with electronic tags, the field station equipped with electronic circuits including a memory containing at least one parameter, wherein in said method, the field station implements steps of:
- recognizing an electronic setting tag when the electronic setting tag passes within range of the antenna,initializing the value of the parameter of the field station at the moment when the field station recognizes the electronic setting tag,updating the value of the parameter of the field station as a function of the duration for which the electronic setting tag remains within the range of the antenna, andtransmitting a signal using a signalling unit when the parameter of the field station is being updated.

Abstract
A method is presented for setting parameters of a field station equipped with an antenna for exchanging data in a contactless manner through RFID technology with electronic tags, the field station equipped with a signalling unit and equipped with electronic circuits including a memory containing at least one parameter. The invention consists in particular of updating a field station parameter as a function of the duration for which an electronic setting tag remains within the range of the field station antenna and of transmitting a signal using a signalling unit when the parameter of the field station is being updated.
