Programming of paired authorization codes in wireless transmitter and barrier operator prior to use by end user

A method of programming a barrier opening system comprising a barrier operator, and a plurality of wireless transmitters for wirelessly transmitting commands to the barrier operator, the method comprising:

• prior to unpacking of the barrier opening system by an end user, programming a different unique authorization code into each of the wireless transmitters;
• prior to unpacking of the barrier opening system to the end user, transmitting each unique authorization code to the barrier operator, using a transmitter external to the barrier opening system, such that the barrier opening system learns each unique authorization code;
• and
• packaging the barrier opening system together for delivery to the end user.

A method for a manufacturer of door operators to pre-pair an authorization code of a wireless transmitter with the door operator prior to delivery of the door operator and the wireless transmitter to a user thereof, comprising:

• in a manufacturing facility, prior to said delivery:
• applying a machine readable representation of the said authorization code to an exterior surface of the wireless transmitter;
• reading the authorization code from the surface and storing the authorization code into a database of a server;
• programming said authorization code into the memory of said wireless transmitter;
• retrieving the authorization code from the database for storage into the memory of the door operator;
• storing the same authorization code into the memory of the door operator;
• and
• packaging the so-paired wireless transmitter and the door operator into a package for delivery to user, thereby enabling the installation and use of the coded door operator without the user needing to pair the wireless transmitter with the door operator.
