The transmitter must be addressed before it will accept and respond to

 

 

commands. The addressing operation routes setup information to a particular

 

 

unit on a network and enables command responses. Once the transmitter is

 

 

addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands. If a different unit

 

 

is addressed, the TPS150 ignores subsequent commands until it is addressed

 

 

again.

 

 

The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed.

 

 

The transmitter can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of

 

 

00, but it does not send responses. Broadcast addressing is for multiple units

 

 

on a network serial line in half-duplex mode.

6.

Click and drag on the slider or click the scroll up ( ) or scroll down ( )

 

button until the desired address is visible.

7.

Click on the desired address. The default address is 97.
