Basic sign operation: Setting a sign’s serial address
Setting a sign’s serial address
The serial address is a number you can assign to a sign. Typically,
this feature is used for a sign that is connected to other signs on a
network. Assigning a unique serial address allows you to send messages
to that
particular
sign.
See the document
Network Configurations
(part number 9708-8046)
for more detailed information on networking signs.
NOTE: The serial address can also be set by using DIP switches
inside the sign. See “Appendix B: Using DIP switches to set
the serial address” on page 25.
