1. A method for joining a network device to at least one bring your own device (BYOD), the network device and/or the at least one BYOD comprising a beacon transmitter configured to periodically or continuously transmit a beacon signal, the beacon signal having a range, or comprising a beacon receiver configured to receive the beacon signal within its range, so that they can exchange the beacon signal, the network device comprising a network device application (app), and the at least one BYOD comprising a BYOD app, the method comprising the steps of:
bringing the at least one BYOD and the network device within the beacon signal range so that the at least one BYOD and the network device exchange a beacon signal comprising a network device ID,
the exchanged beacon signal triggering the BYOD app of the at least one BYOD and the network device app to configure a data channel between the network device and the at least one BYOD.
