DMX512 initial address code is equal to the total sum of the DIP
switches numbered from 1 to 9, Placing the DIP switch in the
DOWN position sets it's value to ON. Placing the DIP switch in the
LED output
UP position sets it's value to OFF.

As figure 2, set the 6th, 3rd and 1st bit of the DIP switch downward to "1", the rest to
"0", the total sum from 1 to 9 is 32+4+1, so the DMX512 initial address code is 37.
When FUN=OFF, Decoder is DMX controlling mode

When FUN=ON, Decoder is in self-test mode.
Figure 1
Example 2: set initial address to 328.
Set the 4th, 7th, 9th, bit of the DIP switch downward to "1" the rest to "0" (as Figure 3).
the summation from 1 to 9 is 8+64+256, so the DMX512 original address code is 328.
