Numbering newly added Specters or renumbering existing Specters

Chapter 5: Numbering new ly added Specters or
renumbering existing Specters
When the Phantom MX II system was first installed, ID numbers were assigned with the auto-numbering
process. Auto numbering gives each Phantom Specter a sequential number according to its physical location in
the daisy chain. When adding a Specter to the system give it an ID number by performing the Auto numbering
process (either through the OSD see chapter 3, or through the Phantom Numbering software discussed below).
Alternatively, when adding a Specter or to renumber existing Specters, you can number them according to their
physical location or by manually choosing the numbers you desire.
Renumbering is done using Phantom Numbering software. The software is on the Marketing & Documentation
CD.
Connect the Phantom MX II System
To number the Specters the Phantom system must be connected and switched on.
Connecting the RS232 Serial cable
