CMDN Manual
Base Address (s) (IRC-3 only)
The lowest address assigned to a CMDN/SMDN on an IRC-3
(FCC/PCPU) system. Up to four consecutive addresses may be
assigned to each display. Assign the base address so as to avoid
network address 41, which is dedicated to ACP/FCCA applications.
Each network address equals 88 messages.
Baud Rate

the figures “2,” “4,” & “9,” i.e. valid options are
{
2400
}
, 4800, and
9600. Do not confuse this setting with the “network” or
“communications” baud rate.

location. Each area requires slightly different operation of indicator
LEDs and the trouble buzzer.
