1. An information handling system comprising:

  • a chassis operable to support processing components;

    a processor disposed in the chassis and operable to execute instructions for processing information;

    memory disposed in the chassis and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and information;

    a management controller disposed in the chassis and interfaced with the processor, the management controller operable to manage operational conditions associated with processing components within the chassis including at least the processor;

    a near field communication (NFC) transceiver disposed in the chassis and operable to wirelessly communicate with an NFC device external to the chassis, the NFC transceiver having a tag memory that stores information to transmit to the external NFC device and information received from the external NFC device; and

    a microcontroller interfacing the management controller with the near field communication transceiver, the microcontroller managing the tag memory to adapt the NFC transceiver communications to a selected one of plural data transfer modes including at least populating tag memory with data to replace data read from the tag memory as the data is read so that a tag memory read event provides an amount of data greater than the tag memory size.
