Abstract

Wireless devices are easily configured with logical network and security settings. Configuration commands are received at master and slave wireless devices. The devices switch to predetermined logical network and security settings to allow communication between the master and slave devices. The master device selects a logical network and/or security setting and sends the setting(s) to the slave device. Both devices then switch to the selected setting(s) and use the setting(s) for future communications.
