Abstract:
Arrangements for transmitting network credentials from a user device to a second device to enable the second device to connect to a network are disclosed. At the user device, a user inputs network credentials for the second device to enable the second device to connect to a network. The user device transmits modulated light to the second device. The light is modulated so that the transmitted light is encoded with the network credentials. The second device has a photo sensor for receiving the modulated light from the user device and a processor for processing the modulated light to obtain the network credentials from the received modulated light.
