Switch 2

Switch 2 is used to set the serial address of the display. Position 1 is the LSB of the
address and position 8 is the MSB of the address.

If position 1 is on and all other positions are off, the display address will be
1.

If position 8 is on and all other positions are off, the display address will be
128.

If all positions are set to off, the serial address can be set using the InView
Messaging software.

The dip switch setting takes priority over the software setting. If the serial address is
set to 2 using the software (all the dip switches set to off) and then switch 2 is used
to set the serial address to 3 (position 1 and 2 set to on and the remaining positions
set to off), the serial address will then be 3. Also, once Switch 2 is used to set the
serial address and then all switch positions are set to off, the serial address setting
remains until it is changed by software or the dip switch is set.
