Abstract

A device configured to communicate with a second device may register a second device using one of multiple registration modes including a domain-registration mode, a device-registration mode, and a no-registration mode. The domain-registration mode allows the second device to register with the device and at least one other device registered with the device, the device-registration mode allows the second device to register with the device and with no other devices, and the no-registration mode does not allow any device to register with the device. The device receives a selection of one of the multiple registration modes and places the device in the selected registration mode.
