ABSTRACT:
A system and method for adding a new network device to an existing network is described. An existing network has at least one master network device that acts as the gatekeeper for adding new network devices to the network. The master network device receives a request from a new network device to join the network. In response, the master network device issues a request to the new network device to perform a specified action. The master network device receives verification from the human user that the specified action has been performed. Upon receiving the verification, the master network device adds the new network device to the network.
