ABSTRACT:
An arrangement is provided for configuring a headless device. A self-initiated configuration mechanism within a headless device issues a configuration request to a configuration service mechanism across network, requesting a configuration specification corresponding to the headless device. The configuration service mechanism returns the requested configuration specification to the self-initiated configuration mechanism. Upon receiving the configuration specification, the self-initiated configuration mechanism configures the headless device according to the configuration specification.
