Any type of controller may be used as a receiver, but it
is typically a microcontroller with compatible firmware
that allows the receiver to operate in conjunction with a
transmitter, based on the HCS360. Section 7.0
provides more detail on integrating the HCS360 into a
total system.
Before a transmitter can be used with a particular
receiver, the transmitter must be ‘learned’ by the
receiver. Upon learning a transmitter, information is
stored by the receiver so that it may track the
transmitter, including the serial number of the

transmitter, the current synchronization value for that
transmitter and the same encryption key that is used on
the transmitter. If a receiver receives a message of
valid format, the serial number is checked and, if it is
from a learned transmitter, the message is decrypted
and the decrypted synchronization counter is checked
against what is stored. If the synchronization value is
verified, then the button status is checked to see what
operation is needed. Figure 1-3 shows the relationship
between some of the values stored by the receiver and
the values received from the transmitter.
