A communication system for exchanging data between an actuator system and an external device, e.g. an operation where the communication system in the form of a gateway and a codex interprets the information in the bidirectional data stream and communicates the information on both sides. The communication system is furthermore provided with an RFID circuit integrated in a handset. The RFIC circuit can communicate information about the gateways unique identification, also known as an MAC-address. This achieves easy connection of an external device to the actuator system without having to enter data manually.
