Setting node addresses
Most Crystal Vision cards have their unique node or card location address assigned
automatically by the panel processor based on the slot occupied in the frame and the
range address setting of the frame. Two ranges are provided to allow one control panel to
control two frames.
Older cards may have a special 16 position node switch for use with older frames such as
the FR2-12 or FR1-6.
In all of the current frames, this node switch should be set to zero (factory default)
and link J4 should be towards the front of the module.
Note:
Setting J4 to the rear of the card may cause incorrect node addressing on this and other
boards in current frames.

Set the remote node address in conjunction with link J4 as follows:
J4 to front of card – set node addresses from 0 to 15 with SW1
J4 away from front – set node addresses from 16 to 31 with SW1 (15 is added to switch setting)
The node address setting is only read on power up.
Note:
Node addresses 0-15 correspond to 0-F on SW1 in HEX with J4 towards the front.
Node addresses 16-31 correspond to 0-F on SW1 in HEX with J4 as shown.
(only every other HEX number may be shown on certain switches)
Please refer to the appropriate Frame Manual for further information about node and
range addresses.
Note:
Other jumper links on the board are for factory use only and should not be changed.
