Abstract
An electronic code plug programming apparatus and operating method that automatically recognizes and configures a radio frequency communication device without reference to a prestored signal in the radio frequency communication device. The programming apparatus uses a communication interface operating in either a first or second configuration using first and second signal sets, respectively. The first configuration and signal set allows communication with a non-microprocessor based radio frequency communication device while the second configuration and signal set allows communication with a microprocessor based radio frequency communication device. In response to the success or failure of a direct code plug read request communicated to an undetermined radio frequency communication device, a controller recognizes whether the device is microprocessor based without reference to a prestored signal therein and programs the device, configuring operational parameters according to its recognized capabilities.
