5.1.1 ADDRESSING RULES
The ADDRESS of the buttons and LEDs of the keypad can be set in the range 0 to 207. The default button panel ADDRESS is 1.
The BUTTON_ID transmitted by the panel is the LINK number used in the programming for button identification. The BUTTON_
LED_ID is LED identification for ButtonLed commands. Both values depend on the button (LED) position and on a keyboard
ADDRESS too. BUTTON_ID is calculated according to the formulas described below.
BUTTON_ ID = (32 * ADDRESS) + Button Code
BUTTON_LED_ID = (32 * ADDRESS) + Button LED Code
The lowest BUTTON_ID is generated by the button in the upper left corner; the highest BUTTON_ID is generated by the button in the
lower right corner.
Button Code = 1
Button LED Code = 1
Button LED Code = 8
Button Code = 8
