Keystroke “1” - Will give the connected uninitialised FCP the lowest free (unallocated) address
automatically.(see also Command 4)

COMMAND “4” - FCP STATUS CONTROL DISPLAY SHOWS “STA. FCP. NR”
Enter the FCP address (01 - 31) which is to display its status (only if more than one FCPs are connected)
The display of the Desk now shows the selected FCP address followed by the status:
The FCP is working normally Display shows “xx Present”
The FCP address has not been allocated Display shows “xx Unallocated”
The address has been allocated but the FCP is not connected Display shows “xx Allocated”
This mode is for future applications Display shows “xx Reply Maybe”
Keystroke “0” - Used to reset a parameter Display shows “Parameter.?”
Keystroke “1” - Used to set a parameter Display shows “Parameter.?”
The parameters can be selected using the following 3 keys:
Keystroke “1” - “Present”
Keystroke “2” - “Allocation”
Keystroke “3” - “Reply MB”
4.1 Address Allocation
It is possible that an address (01 - 31) could be set (reserved) by either of the three parameters mentioned above before a new FCP is
introduced to the desk. To check the status of each of the 31communication addresses, scroll the addresses using the PROGRAM key.
The status of each will be shown on the desk display.
If an address number has already been allocated to an existing active FCP, the display should show “Present” when that address is selected.
Only “Unalloc” addresses can be directly assigned to an uninitialised FCP.
4.2 Addressing an FCP
An uninitialised FCP can be given an address in two ways:
1) As at Command 3, where the FCP will be given the first “Unalloc” address available automatically and the LEDs will stop blinking
immediately.
2) If a particular address number has to be assigned to an FCP, this can be done by scrolling the available addresses with the
PROGRAM key until the selected address is shown in the desk display. By changing the status of this address from “Unalloc” to
“Present” will allocate the address to the FCP and the FCP LEDs will stop blinking immediately and the FCP can communicate
with the desk.
If when scrolling the addresses, the chosen address happens to show “Allocated”or “Reply MB”, then it is not possible to go
directly to “Present” to install the address in the FCP. In this case change from “Allocated” or “Reply MB” to “Unallocated” then
go to “Present” and the FCP will accept the address within a scan time of 1 Min. approx. The FCP has now accepted the address
and communication with the desk is established.
