Page 8: Smartmux Id Setup
SmartMux ID Setup SmartMux IDs are determined by the use of mini dipswitches at the front of each unit. These are usually preconfigured before you receive them, according to your system design. MUX ID 20 MUX ID 1 The setup is based on zero index binary, with the least significate bit at the front. -
Page 9: Rebooting A Smartmux
Rebooting a SmartMux Reboot Mode Rebooting the SmartMux will cause it to lose it’s memory and it will then be able to communicate with a new G8 In the middle block of dipswitches, push all 1-8 up 2. Supply power to the mux. The easiest way to do this is by creating a local reading of that mux (any channel) A SmartMux will memorise the name of the first G8 it communicates with and will only communicate with... -

Page 18: G8 To Analogue Smartmux Connections (Rs232)
G8 to Analogue Smart Mux Connections (RS232) Useful if the two RS485 ports are already in use The RS232 connection on the Mux is not designed for a direct connection from the G8 to a Mux. To connect the G8 to a Mux using the RS232 ports on the G8, you must use an RS232 - RS485 converter to change an analogue signal into a digital signal. -
