Method and system for arming a container security device without use of electronic reader
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring the condition of a container, the system comprising:
- a container security device for securing at least one door of the container, wherein the container security device is programmably armed to implement the securing, the container security device being adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least one sensed condition; and
a remote arming plug coupled to the container security device, wherein the remote arming plug has a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device.

Abstract
A system monitors the condition of a container. A container security device secures at least one door of the container. The container security device is programmably armed to implement the securing. The container security device is adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least one sensed condition. A remote arming plug is coupled to the container security device. The remote arming plug has a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device.

15. A method for monitoring the condition of a container, the method comprising:
-
securing at least one door of the container with a container security device, the container security device being adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least one sensed condition; and
initiate, in response to a movement of a remote arming plug, an arming sequence of the container security device, wherein the remote arming plug has a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 27, 28)

29. A system for monitoring the condition of a container having a container security device for securing at least one door of the container, the system comprising:
-
a user server for storing a list of authorized users and issuing a remote arming plug ID for a remote arming plug coupled to the container security device, wherein in response to a movement of a remote arming plug, an arming sequence of the container security device is initiated, the remote arming plug having a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate the arming sequence; and
an authentication server to authenticate the container security device and the remote arming plug, wherein the authentication server is in communication with the user server. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
