AMX AXR-NWS instruction manual Setting the Group Address, Group Address DIP Switch Values

Installation

Setting the Group Address

You must remove the translucent faceplate on the front panel before you can access the DIP switches. The GROUP ADDRESS DIP switch sets the starting address for the device numbers. For example, if the GROUP ADDRESS DIP switch is set to 128, the AXR-NWS communicates with device numbers 128 - 143.

Device numbers for ViewPoint touch panels can range from 0 - 255, but typically begin at 128; they are set within the ViewPoint’s protected setup page. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with you touch panel for detailed information. The table below lists the DIP switch values.

The GROUP ID DIP switch sets the identification number to synchronize communication between the wireless devices and AXR-NWS. Each AXR-NWS must have a unique GROUP ID number. All ViewPoints must match the four-position DIP switch on the AXR-NWS. FIG. 2 illustrates the relationship between Group Address and Device Address.
