Chapter 5: Renumbering the Phantom Remotes
When the Phantom system was first installed, ID numbers were assigned with the auto-numbering process.
Auto numbering gives each Phantom Remote a sequential number according to its physical location in the
daisy chain. Remote units can be renumbered 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.
