Crest Audio Inc. NexSys v. 3.0
Changing the Device’s Address
A device address is based upon the device’s network node address. An address may be sin-
gle- or two-tiered depending on its connection. Devices connected to a Hub or Supervisor
will always be two-tiered. Devices connected directly to the primary bus will be single-
tiered. A discussion of Networks, Nodes and Buses (Section 3.2) has been presented and is
worth reviewing if you’re not familiar with these concepts.
The highest acceptable node address is 111 decimal (see Appendix A for a decimal-hexa-
decimal conversion table). This applies to all network devices; including Hubs, Supervisors,
Load Monitors, MIDI Interfaces, and CK family amplifiers.
The lowest valid node address is 1 for all network devices. Note that a Hub address of 0
should be used as a placeholder for devices where no Hub is present.
