address
Switch 1 - 4 on the configuration switch set the router’s address for communication with the i-Control software and other
units in the MIDI bus system. The i-Control control screen and the panels on the MIDI bus dedicated to operate with the
router have to have the same address. If several routers are combined to form an Audio Follow Video, RGB or similar system,
these routers have to have the same address.
The addresses can be switched according to the following pattern:
