How to
Configuring the MS/TP Address
You must configure a unique MS/TP address for the RP and MP controllers that support MS/TP communications. You do so during installation by using position 1-7 on the address DIP switch.
You must configure the DIP switches as part of the commissioning process for RP and MP Controllers that support MS/TP communications.
For more information, see BACnet MS/TP Network Communications .
Use only the 7 switches on the left. You do not need to use the switch on the farthest right.
See the table and graphic that follows for more information on the switches and their ON values.

Address DIP switches
For example, to configure address 6, configure DIP switches 2 and 3 to ON and switches 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to OFF.
For more information, see Configuring the MS/TP Address .
In the RP or MP controller, locate the address DIP switch.
Use position 1-7 to configure the address.
Position 1-7 represent the binary values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64.
Tip:Position 8 is not valid.
Activate the switch at the numbered position by moving the switch up and then deactivate it by moving the switch down.
