WCI Addressing

This section describes the WCI addressing scheme and procedure. WCIs can be ordered either pre-
addressed or without addresses. Verify pre-addressed WCI prior to installation.

Setting Network Communication Addressing

Important: Addresses must be set on WCIs before applying power to them.
Follow this procedure to set the WCI address for network communication.
addressing scheme used for WCIs. The illustration shows four networks and two Tracer SCs, with
each Tracer SC communicating on two networks. See
1. Set the left (GRP) rotary address switch for each WCI that is in the same Tracer SC group to an

must have a unique number.
Note: The NET address must match the wireless link on Tracer SC.
