Figure 4-4 — Addresses window
The transmitter must be addressed before it will accept and respond to
commands. The addressing operation routes setup information to a particular
unit on a network and enables command responses. Once the transmitter is
addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands. If a different unit
is addressed, the TPS150 ignores subsequent commands until it is addressed
again.
The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed.
The transmitter can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of
00, but it does not send responses. Broadcast addressing is for multiple units
on a network serial line in half-duplex mode.
6 . Click and drag on the slider or click the scroll up ( ) or scroll down ( )
button until the desired address is visible.
7 . Click on the desired address. The default address is 97.
