Claim Text:
1. A method for integrating a device into a network, comprising the steps of: (a) detecting, by a reading device located in an access-protected device security gate, a first device identification of the device, the reading device located in the access-protected device security gate being authorized to transmit the detected first device identification as configuration data to an access-protected configuration data memory of the network, and the first device identification of the device being transmitted from the reading device located in the access-protected device security gate to the configuration data memory of the network and being stored therein; (b) connecting the device to be integrated to an access node of the network, the device being identified to a server of the network by a second device identification; and (c) configuring automatically, by the server, the connected device for the network, if an associated 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, the automatic configuration of the connected device being executed in a cryptographically secured manner by the server.
