1. A smart wireless device for commissioning a target device onto a wireless local area network (WLAN), the smart wireless device including a first processor and a first memory storing programs for execution by the first processor, comprising:

  • (1) commissioning logic, configured to;

    display a user interface for commissioning the target device, wherein the target device is disposed in proximity to the smart wireless device, and includes a second processor and a second memory storing programs for execution by the second processor, the programs stored in the second memory further including program instructions that direct the second processor to decode and process WLAN configuration packets for commissioning the target device itself onto the WLAN;

    format and direct transmission of one or more WLAN configuration packets that convey WLAN configuration data associated with the WLAN according to a predetermined data format, wherein the WLAN is accessible to the smart wireless device,receive, via the WLAN, a contact from the target device indicating that the target device has successfully entered the WLAN, andin response to the received contact from the target device, continue to commission the target device by communicating via the WLAN device configuration data to the target device, the device configuration data including an Internet Protocol address, proxy, and gateway configuration of the smart wireless device; and

    (2) a transducer, coupled to said commissioning logic, configured to transmit said one or more WLAN configuration packets to the target device over a wireless transmission path allowing signal transmission from the transducer to the target device independently of the WLAN, wherein the target device uses the user interface of the smart wireless device for device commissioning.
