Abstract

The invention relates to a method for transmitting information, particularly network parameters for connecting to a wireless network, from a provisioning device to a wireless device via a wireless interface. The information is obtained in an encoded form in the provisioning device and the provisioning device transmits a sequence of data packets (21) in accordance with a pattern generated based on the encoded information. Each element of the pattern correspond to a predetermined time distance between consecutive data packets (21) or to a predetermined data packet length, and the data packets (21) have a length which is smaller than a maximum length supported by the wireless interface.
