Abstract
A diagnostic method and system for wireless door control systems comprising transmitters and a receiver which transmit diagnostic information to a diagnostic device which conveys diagnostic information about the system to the user. The diagnostic device may also facilitate selective enrollment and/or disassociation of transmitters, loading firmware into receivers, overriding hardware settings, interrogating receivers and/or transmitters, emulating devices, testing battery conditions, testing frequency bands for interference and other functions.

20. A method of disassociating at least one of a plurality of transmitters from a receiver of a wireless door control system, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a signal instructing the receiver to enter a disassociating mode for disassociating a particular transmitter of the plurality of transmitters from the receiver; receiving at the diagnostic device a signal from the receiver containing confirmation that the receiver is in the disassociating mode; transmitting to the receiver a signal containing unique identifiers associated with each transmitter to be disassociated from the receiver; and receiving at the diagnostic device a signal from the receiver containing confirmation that the unique identifiers associated with each transmitter to be disassociated from the receiver were erased or inactivated.
