Abstract
A networked system includes a network. A secondary device is coupled to the network. A primary device is coupled to the network and includes a key device connector. The primary device may detect that a key device that includes a plurality of configuration information is coupled to the key device connector. The primary device then retrieves first configuration information of the plurality of configuration information from the key device for the primary device and configures the primary device using the first configuration information. The primary device then discovers the secondary device through the network, retrieves second configuration information of the plurality of configuration information from the key device for the secondary device, and provides the second configuration information over the network to the secondary device to initiate configuration of the secondary device using the second configuration information.
