• the command receiver When the command receiver is accessible, it is easy to use a specific button or a particular procedure on a button normally, assigned to another use, to put the receiver in learning mode. During a determined period, the receiver knows that it must memorize the identifier contained in the frame of a possible signal that it could receive. Thus, the transmitter of orders used to send this signal can be registered by the receiver, for example in the form of an identity number.
