AXB-232++ - Instruction Manual
Setting the DIP Switches
NOTE:
Use the DIPSwitch 2.0 application available for free download from AMX to quickly figure out DIP Switch settings for all types
of DIP Switches.
Setting the DEVICE DIP switch
Set the device number on DEVICE DIP switch, located on the front of the AXB-232++. The device can be 1 of the 255 devices in an
Axcess control system. The device number must match the device assignment in the Axcess program. Device numbers are assigned
into the following three segments:
Cards
1 through 95
Boxes
96 through 127
Panels
128 through 255
Set the device number by setting the device DIP switches. The device number is the total of all of the switches in the ON position,
and take effect by cycling the power. The following table shows the switch numbers and their corresponding values.
Setting the RS-232/422 DIP Switch
Set the stop bits, data bits, parity, and baud rate on the RS-232/422 DIP switch, located on the front panel (see FIG. 1 on page 5).
The AXB-232++ supports the following asynchronous data standards:
The table below shows the RS-232/422 DIP switch numbers, functions, and their corresponding values.
