            Application No. 09/966,620                                                                      

            Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                                                

            1. A method for configuring a first parameter to a first device,                                

            comprising the steps of:                                                                        

               • providing a network communication channel connected to the first                           
                   device and to a configuring machine;                                                     

               • from the configuring machine, sending the first parameter and a                            
                   device’s identifier to the communication channel;                                        

               • acquiring the first parameter upon identifying the device's identifier on                  
                   the communication channel;                                                               

               • configuring the first parameter to the first device; and                                   

               • turning–off a feature to configure the first device until the first device                 
                   is in an un-configured state;                                                            

               • wherein the first device is embedded in a second device and provides                       
                   administrative capabilities to the second device.                                        



            The examiner relies on the following references:
