Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a device of a tractor unit determines that the tractor unit is connected to a trailer via physical cabling. The device sends, via the physical cabling, a powerline communication (PLC) message to the trailer that includes a service set identifier (SSID) and password for a Wi-Fi transceiver of the tractor unit. The Wi-Fi transceiver of the tractor unit receives an association request sent wirelessly from a Wi-Fi transceiver of the trailer that is based on the sent SSID and password. The device establishes the Wi-Fi transceiver of trailer as a Wi-Fi client of the Wi-Fi transceiver of the tractor unit.
