Abstract
A remote control system comprises a transmitter for transmitting a first data signal having a command and an identification code. Further, the remote control system comprises a receiver for receiving the first data signal having an operational mode for initiating the received command if the first received identification code matches a stored authentic and valid identification code, and a programming mode for storing received valid identification codes. If the receiver is in a first session of the programming mode, the processor tests the validity of the first received identification code, unauthenticates the stored authentic and valid identification codes should the first received identification code be valid, and writes the first received, tested and validated identification code into a first location in memory as authentic and valid.
