The dip switch sets the first address of the card frame with the other 15
slots following in order.
For example: if set to one, the card frame addresses are set from 1 to 16.
If set to two, the card frame addresses are set from 2 to 17.
The highest number allowable on the dip switch is 240 which would
make the last device address 255.
