A third number, the point number is unique to a particular device. Point numbers range from 0 to 63. There is a one-to-one correspondence between a point number and a point multiplex address/bus number pair. The point number assignment is presented in a table displayed whenever the ? box to the right of the Point Number field is clicked.

Figure 11 illustrates a quick way to select a particular device without having to translate between the two numbering systems. Three buttons at the bottom of this screen allow the user to display all possible device numbers (whether or not the particular transponder has a device assigned to the number) or, to display only locations populated by receivers or only locations populated by alert units.

When the Point Number button in the table is clicked, the Point Number table disappears and that point number automatically appears in the Point Number field of the Transponder Database Screen. The bus number and point address are also changed to reflect the selection

+, -, Bus + and Bus -

These buttons, just below the Point Number field, allow you to quickly advance the device selection by one location, either one point location (+ or -) or one bus number (Bus + or Bus - ). This is useful when a task requires proceeding from device to device, as during system setup or check out. The ? box is used to display all devices to facilitate quick selection of a particular device. It is most useful when diagnosing a problem with a particular device.

Point Type

The Point Type field indicates the type of device (receiver, virtual receiver, or alert unit) located at the location currently selected in the Point Number field. Once the Point Number field contains the proper value, the device type is set by selecting from the options in the drop-down menu that appears when the arrow to the right of the Point Type field is clicked.
