Abstract
A system and method of assigning an electronic serial number to a radio frequency (RF) device which minimizes handling of RF devices. The system includes a first isolation chamber which programs a first group of RF devices including the one RF device with a first electronic serial number, a holding area external to the first isolation chamber for separating the first group of RF devices into a plurality of second groups of RF devices including a third group of RF devices containing the one RF device, and a second isolation chamber which programs the one RF device with a second electronic serial number different from the first electronic serial number and different from third electonic serial numbers assigned to other RF devices within the third group.
