Appeal No. 2002-2295
Application 08/988,457
Upon our review of Grube, we find that Grube teaches a
wireless communication system 100 having a plurality of
communication units 102. See figure 1 and column 2, lines
35 through 41. The communication unit 102 communicates with
configuration device 115 over a second wireless communication
path 117. See figure 1 and column 2, lines 53 through 55. The
second communication path 117 may be an RF communication path or
an infrared communication path of a very low power level such
that the range between the two devices is approximately 20 feet.
See column 2, lines 55 through 62.
The configuration device 115 includes a storage element 116
that stores the identification codes for a particular
communication unit and also the system access information for a
particular communication unit. See column 3, lines 3 through 23.
The communication device 115 should be manufactured in a way that
it will make it readily carryable by the operator of the
communication unit. See column 3, lines 29 through 41. Thus,
the communication path 117 is entirely separate from the
communication 103 that the remote unit uses to communicate with
other remote units. Also, the configuration unit 115 is a
portable device that is carried by the operator of the
communication unit 102.
