    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus that registers and configures mesh node devices to operate as part of a wireless mesh network as part of a process that may be referred to as an onboarding process that streamlines. Such an onboarding process may store registration information and configuration information in a database at a computer in the cloud or that is accessible via the Internet. This stored information may be used to easily create or expand a wireless mesh network. This registration information may be cross-referenced with a profile associated with a network configuration, with a customer license, and with an identifier that identifies a wireless mesh network. Profiles consistent with the present disclosure may identify configuration preferences of a wireless mesh network and may identify software components that may be installed at particular mesh nodes when mesh node devices are added to a wireless mesh network.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for quickly pairing a dual-mode Bluetooth device. The method is applied to a master device, and includes: receiving, by the master device, Bluetooth identification information broadcast by a surrounding slave device; checking, by the master device, the Bluetooth identification information; and if the Bluetooth identification information is correct, performing, by the master device, Bluetooth pairing with the slave device. The method for quickly pairing a dual-mode Bluetooth device provided in the present disclosure simplifies a pairing operation and increases a pairing speed without increasing a cost. In addition, a pairing condition is not limited by a system version of a device, achieving high cost performance and strong applicability.
