Address 00 should be used with
care because sending a
message to a sign with address
00 can also send the message
to all the signs on a given
device.
For example, if a sign with an
address of 12 was also
connected to a wireless
receiver, then whenever a
message was sent to sign 00,
sign 12 would also receive it.
Rule of Thumb: If you have
more than one sign on a device
(such as modem, local, or
wireless), then assign each sign
a unique address. To change a
sign’s address, see “Changing a
sign’s serial address” on
page 16.
