DSX Controller Addressing
Controller Addressing
Each Controller has an 8 position dipswitch to set its address. The Master Controller is addressed as the
Location number and has switch 8 turned on. Turn on switches 1-7 to set the Location number. Each switch
has a binary value and when added together equal the Location number. Add the values of each switch
turned on. To set the Master address above 127 set switches 1-7 off and program the address using
KB2CW.exe from the WinDSX directory.
Set the Slave device address starting at 2. Both Devices of all controllers must be defined in the database
but only the even number is programmed by the dipswitches. Side A = even number set by the switches.
Side B = next highest odd number.
The Master is always device address 0 & 1 in the database. Switch 8 is only turned on at the Master
Controller.
