OPERATING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEEDING A RANDOM SERIAL NUMBER FOR RADIO FREQUENCY CONTROL OF A BARRIER OPERATOR'S ACCESSORIES

摘要

An operating system for a motorized barrier includes an operator for controlling movement of the barrier between various positions and an accessory. The system includes a wall station transmitter, a wireless keyless entry transmitter and/or a portable remote transmitter. The system also includes an accessory device such as a light fixture or switch that controls a load, wherein the device is capable of also receiving wireless signals to control the fixture or the load. The system allows for pre-storing of an operator serial number that is needed to communicate with the accessory devices. The operator serial number may also be randomly derived from a timer or by parsing a serial number generated by one of the transmitters.
