Setting the Address DIP Switches

The previous sections in this chapter have helped you decide whether to control your Cyberlight
using DMX 512 protocol or LWR protocol. This section explains how to implement that decision
by selecting the protocol and by selecting a fixture number.
The eight DMX address DIP switches set the following options:

Address Switch Descriptions

Figure 2-1 below shows a functional breakdown of the address DIP switches:
Figure 2-1. The address switch block allows you to select the control protocol (DMX 1,
DMX 2, DMX 3, or LWR) and the fixture number.

Switches 1 through 6: Set LWR Protocol Fixture Number

If you are using LWR protocol to control your Cyberlight, these switches set the fixture number.
Refer to Table 2-2 for switch settings. (If you are controlling your Cyberlight using DMX 512
protocol, refer to Appendix A.)
You need to assign a unique fixture number to each Cyberlight you wish to respond independently
to control commands. Multiple fixtures can be assigned the same address if you wish them all to
respond to control commands in the same way.
For example, suppose you have 12 Cyberlight fixtures on one link. You want six of them to operate
independently of each other and the other six to operate in exactly the same way. You need to
assign each of the six independently-operating Cyberlight fixtures a unique fixture number, but you
can assign a single fixture number to the other six, for a total of seven fixture numbers.

2-4 Cyberlight User Manual
Whether the Cyberlight will be controlled using DMX 512 protocol or LWR protocol.
If you select DMX 512 protocol, you first need to determine which DMX mode you wish to
use, then set the fixture number. See Appendix A for a complete description of these options.
If you select LWR protocol, you need to set the fixture number. This is covered in the section
titled "Switches 1 through 6: Set LWR Protocol Fixture Number".
A unique fixture number is required for each Cyberlight for software uploads.
