Abstract
An electronic lock that is self-configurable to automatically set a wireless communication protocol profile, or configuration, to allow the electronic lock to communicatively join the system in which the electronic lock is to be incorporated. In some embodiments, the electronic lock is programmed to execute in sequence a plurality of wireless protocol profiles stored in memory until a wireless protocol profile establishes wireless communications with another wireless communication device. Once this happens, the wireless protocol profile that was able to establish wireless communications is set as the default wireless protocol profile.
