Type 3 ATCS Address

The WAG can be assigned both Type 3 and Type 7 ATCS addresses. This enables the WAG to
handle any ATCS message of either type that it sees. See paragraph 2.6.1 for directions on
changing Type 7 addresses.
Changing the Type 3 ATCS address lets the user specify the Type 3 ATCS address for the WAG on
the network. The Type 3 address for each unit uses the field wayside equipment ATCS address
format 3.RRR.NN.DDDD. The address segments are as follows:
RRR The railroad number.
NN Node number.
DDDD Base device number.
To Assign Type 3 ATCS Address:
1. On the First Configuration Menu, select "WAG Type 3 ATCS Address" to be changed. The Type
3 ATCS Address screen (see Figure 2-13) appears.
