The invention relates to a method for the initial login of an especially
mobile terminal at an access point of a local communication network,
whereby a first transmission power of a first radio transmitter/radio
receiver of the access point is reduced after detection of the terminal,
in such a way that a transmission/reception process can only be carried
out in a near field of the access point. The invention also relates to an
access point and to a terminal for carrying out the method.
