1. A method for identifying which networked device of a set of networked devices is mounted at a first mounting location of mounting locations of the set of networked devices known in a management server, wherein each networked device has a unique identifier, the method comprising:
emitting a predetermined sound using a loudspeaker of a portable device, wherein the portable device is located at a location that is closer to the first mounting location than to all other mounting locations of the set of network devices such that detection is enabled of the emitted predetermined sound by a microphone in a networked device mounted at the first mounting location;
sending information specifying the first mounting location from the portable device to the management server;
upon detecting the predetermined sound using a microphone in a first networked device, sending the unique identifier of the first networked device from the first networked device to the management server; and
linking, at the management server, the unique identifier of the first networked device to the first mounting location.
