Abstract
A peripheral device is provided, which can be coupled detachably with a communications terminal. The device includes at least one connector cooperating, when the peripheral device is coupled with the terminal, with at least one complementary connector on the terminal so as to form a wired communications link between the peripheral device and the terminal. The device has a first wireless communications module capable of communicating with a second wireless communications module on the communications terminal when the wireless communications modules are paired with each other; a reception module to receive an identifier of the communications terminal via the wired communications link; a generating module to generate a pairing code in response to the received identifier; and a transmission module to transmit the pairing code to the communications terminal via the wired communications link so as to configure a pairing between the first and second wireless communications modules.
