If you have multiple signs
networked together, it’s a good

message to serial address 00,
the message is broadcast to all
signs on your network, even if
each sign has a unique serial
address.
To change a sign’s address, see
“Changing a sign’s serial

To finish establishing a wireless
connection, you have to create a
wireless site using Site Manager.
To see an example of this, see
“Creating the Shipping site — a
wireless example” on page 40.
