Setting Addresses on the Rotary Switches

There are three rotary switches on the front of the BCI-R controller that are used to define a three-
digit address when the BCI-R is installed on a BACnet communications network. The three-digit
address setting is the BACnet MAC address.
For more information about rotary switches, see
Device ID, " p.
Note: All devices are MS/TP masters with valid MAC addresses of 001 to 127 for BACnet.
