Abstract
A system and/or method that facilitates the installation and/or authentication of a device by invoking installation protocols and/or authentication protocols for a non-physical connection. A physical interface component provides a physical connection between at least one wireless device and at least one network entity in which the installation protocols and/or authentication protocols can be exchanged. The physical interface component can utilize a token key to establish multiple non-physical connections with multiple wireless devices. Additionally, the physical interface component can utilize a daisy chain scheme to install and/or authenticate a wireless device.
