CPT7 and CPT7700 Installation and Operation User Manual v9

127

A full address claim procedure with default values is initiated with the

CANCONFIG ON

command. The

J1939CONFIG command can be used to modify the default address claim parameters including the
ManufacturingCode (set to 603 in the SETCANNAME example above, now defaults to 305 in the new
J1939CONFIG) but it's not necessary.
