COMMMAND “3”		-	ALLOCATE ADDRESS	DISPLAY SHOWS “GIVADR (1/0)”
Keystroke “1”	-	Will give the connected uninitialised FCP the lowest free (unallocated) address
		automatically.(see also Command 4)
		After the keystroke the desk will		return to the communication menu
		Eronneous keystokes will generate the error bleep and return to the “Comm. menu”
Keystroke :0”	-	Return to “Communication menu”.
COMMAND “4” -		FCP STATUS CONTROL		DISPLAY SHOWS “STA. FCP. NR”

Enter the FCP address (01 - 31) which is to display its status (only if more than one FCPs are connected) The display of the Desk now shows the selected FCP address followed by the status:

The FCP is working normally			Display shows “xx Present”
The FCP address has not been allocated			Display shows “xx Unallocated”
The address has been allocated but the FCP is not connected			Display shows “xx Allocated”
This mode is for future applications			Display shows “xx Reply Maybe”
Keystroke “0”	-	Used to reset a parameter	Display shows “Parameter.?”
Keystroke “1”	-	Used to set a parameter	Display shows “Parameter.?”

The parameters can be selected using the following 3 keys:

Keystroke “1”	-	“Present”
Keystroke “2”	-	“Allocation”
Keystroke “3”	-	“Reply MB”

4.1Address Allocation

It is possible that an address (01 - 31) could be set (reserved) by either of the three parameters mentioned above before a new FCP is introduced to the desk. To check the status of each of the 31communication addresses, scroll the addresses using the PROGRAM key. The status of each will be shown on the desk display.

If an address number has already been allocated to an existing active FCP, the display should show “Present” when that address is selected.

Only “Unalloc” addresses can be directly assigned to an uninitialised FCP.

4.2Addressing an FCP

An uninitialised FCP can be given an address in two ways:

1)As at Command 3, where the FCP will be given the first “Unalloc” address available automatically and the LEDs will stop blinking immediately.

2)If a particular address number has to be assigned to an FCP, this can be done by scrolling the available addresses with the PROGRAM key until the selected address is shown in the desk display. By changing the status of this address from “Unalloc” to “Present” will allocate the address to the FCP and the FCP LEDs will stop blinking immediately and the FCP can communicate with the desk.

If when scrolling the addresses, the chosen address happens to show “Allocated”or “Reply MB”, then it is not possible to go directly to “Present” to install the address in the FCP. In this case change from “Allocated” or “Reply MB” to “Unallocated” then go to “Present” and the FCP will accept the address within a scan time of 1 Min. approx. The FCP has now accepted the address and communication with the desk is established.
