Attorney, Agent or Firm: Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
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. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention is described below, with reference to detailed illustrative embodiments.
It will be apparent that the invention can be embodied in a wide variety of forms, some of which may be quite different from those of the disclosed embodiments.
Consequently, the specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely representative and do not limit the scope of the invention.
The processing described below may be performed by a general-purpose computer alone or in connection with a special purpose computer.
Such processing may be performed by a single platform or by a distributed processing platform.
In addition, such processing and functionality can be implemented in the form of special purpose hardware or in the form of software being run by a general-purpose computer.
Any data handled in such processing or created as a result of such processing can be stored in any memory as is conventional in the art.
By way of example, such data may be stored in a temporary memory, such as in the RAM of a given computer system or subsystem.
In addition, or in the alternative, such data may be stored in longer-term storage devices, for example, magnetic disks, rewritable optical disks, and so on.
For purposes of the disclosure herein, a computer-readable media may comprise any form of data storage mechanism, including such existing memory technologies as well as hardware or circuit representations of such structures and of such data.
FIG.
1 depicts the high-level system architecture 100 of embodiments of the present invention.
System 100 comprises a configuration service mechanism 110 and a headless device 130 that can connect to the configuration service mechanism 110 via a network 120.
According to the present invention, the headless device 130 includes a self-initiated configuration mechanism 150 that configures the headless device through a configuration service provided by the configuration service mechanism 110.
The self-initiated configuration mechanism 150 may be activated when the headless device 130 is initially powered up
