WCI Addressing
This section describes the WCI addressing scheme and procedure. WCIs can be ordered either pre-
addressed or without addresses. Verify pre-addressed WCI prior to installation.
Setting Network Communication Addressing
Important:
Addresses must be set on WCIs before applying power to them.
Follow this procedure to set the WCI address for network communication.
illustrates the
addressing scheme used for WCIs.The illustration shows four networks and twoTracer SCs, with
each Tracer SC communicating on two networks. See
for address settings.
1.
Set the left (GRP) rotary address switch for each WCI that is in the sameTracer SC group to an
identical number. (A Tracer SC group refers to all of the networks that communicate with the
same Tracer SC.)
2. Set the right (NET) rotary address switch for each WCI that is to be on the same network to an
identical number. If there are multiple networks in aTracer SC group, each network in that group
must have a unique number.
Note:
The NET address (ranging from 1 - 8) must match the wireless link on Tracer SC.

WCI addressing example
Note:
The Wireless Comm Network Design Best Practices Guide (BAS-SVX55) provides an
example of network addressing from a floor plan perspective.
