Device and method for radio programming wireless terminal devices
First Claim
1. A device for radio programming wireless terminal devices each having a unique radio identification and an optical signal device or an acoustic signal device, comprising:
- a transceiver for radio communication with the terminal devices;
an optical signal detector and an acoustic signal detector; and
a control device coupled to the transceiver and to the optical and acoustic signal detectors;
wherein said control deviceacquires information from a terminal device and determines whether said terminal device includes an optical signal device for transmitting an optical signal or an acoustic signal device for transmitting an acoustic signal;
transmits a request to said terminal device for emission of a corresponding optical or acoustic signal that said terminal device is capable of transmitting based on whether said terminal device includes an optical signal device or an acoustic signal device;
receives the corresponding optical or acoustic signal from said terminal device and detects whether the received signal is an optical signal or an acoustic signal; and
radio programs said terminal device when the optical or acoustic signal detector detects said received optical or acoustic signal.

Abstract
A method and device for radio programming wireless terminal devices, which have a unique radio identification and an optical or acoustic signal device, with a transceiver for radio communication with the terminal devices and a control device connected to the transceiver. The control device is configured for radio programming the terminal devices with a predetermined radio identification via the radio transceiver. The control device is connected with at least one optical or acoustic signal detector and is configured for transmitting a request for emission of an optical or acoustic signal to a terminal device with a predetermined radio identification via the transceiver. The terminal device is radio programmed, only when the signal detector detects an optical or acoustic signal.
