Patent ID: 11477297

Abstract:
A method of installing a plurality of headless devices includes: scanning for the plurality of headless devices that are to be initially installed and are not yet connected to any network; detecting a first headless device of the plurality of headless devices; communicatively coupling the first headless device to a network; and storing network data relating to the coupling of the first headless device to the network in a storage device. The method further includes scanning for a subsequent headless device of the plurality of headless devices; and determining if the subsequent headless device is to be communicatively coupled to the network using the stored network data. In response to a determination that the subsequent headless device is to be communicatively coupled to the network, the method includes using the stored network data, communicatively coupling the subsequent headless device to the network using the stored network data without user input of the network data; and then deleting the network data relating to the coupling of the first headless device to the network from the storage device when a last headless device has been connected to the network.
