Abstract

A method and a server for integrating a device into a network, a first device identification of the device is detected being a reading device authorized for this purpose, and the detected first device identification being transmitted as configuration data into an access-protected configuration data memory of the network. The first device identification of the device is transmitted from the reading device to the configuration data memory and stored in the memory. After the device to be integrated is connected to an access node of the network, the server automatically configures the connected device for the network if a corresponding first device identification of the device is already stored in the access-protected configuration data memory of the network for the second device identification of the device connected to the access node of the network such that an efficient and secured integration of a communication-enabled terminal into a network is achieved.
