preprogramming
Setting up beforehand
Preprogramming is the act of programming something in advance, before it's needed or deployed.
A technician might handle the preprogramming of devices before shipping them to customers.
The term applies to software, electronics, or any system configured ahead of time: The preprogramming of the thermostats took several hours.
