Abstract
Systems and methods for push button configuration of devices are provided. One system comprises one or more circuits configured to determine that a configuration button on the second device has been activated and determine whether a configuration button has been activated on a first device or a third device within a time interval from a time at which the button on the second device is activated. The circuits are configured to, in response to determining that the configuration button has been activated on either the first device or the third device within the time interval, allow the second device to be authenticated. The circuits are configured to, in response to determining that the configuration button has not been activated on either the first device or the third device within the time interval, prevent admission of the second device. The network may be a wired network, such as a MoCA network.
