Abstract

See full text

A method and system is provided for communicating permanent or semi-permanent information to a transponder (14) from an interrogator (12), preferably operated by a toll agency or other authorized entity. This permanent or semi-permanent information is communicated by means of special instructions valid only during a special mode or maintenance mode which is entered by transmitting a special access code to the transponder (14) from the authorized interrogator (12). The transponder (14) will preferably acknowledge to the authorized interrogator (12) that it is, in fact, operating in the maintenance mode so the interrogator (12) can transmit the special instructions in confidence.
