  • Page 25: Start-Up Of A Networked System

    GE 800 5. Configuration CCT 800 Start-up of a networked system In networked systems, each Intercom Server housing must be advised a unique number (server ID). There are two methods of advising each Intercom Server a server ID:  For a maximum of 14 housings, the server IDs can be set via the DIP switches of the G8-GEP. This is the easiest method, because the computer does not need to be connected to each single housing.
