Abstract
A method for managing a request to pair a first item of equipment with a second item of equipment is implemented by a device for managing a pairing request. The managing device is configured to communicate with the first item of equipment via an optical communication channel. The managing method includes: reception, via the optical communication channel, of a pairing request including data representative of the identity of the first item of equipment; and if the pairing request is authorized, transmission, via the optical communication channel, of a security key to the first item of equipment to be used during communications between the first item of equipment and the second item of equipment once the items of equipment have been paired.
