Setting The Rs-485 Address - Mircom TX3 Series Installation And Operation Manual

2.8

Setting the RS-485 Address

Use DIP switches 1-6 to set the RS-485 network address. The individual switches
are numbered 1 to 8 from left to right, and are marked as either ON or OFF. The
first six switches (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) set the address.
Every TX3 Emergency Phone requires a unique address. The address settings do
not need to be in sequence but it is recommended to assign addresses starting
from 1, using increments of one (for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on). Do not
duplicate addresses.
Note:
DIP switch SW1 is located at the top central portion of the controller board. See
Figure 4 on page 17.
Table 1 shows the SW1 DIP switch settings for each Emergency Phone.
