10 Basic sign operation: Setting a sign’s serial address
Setting a sign’s serial address
The serial address is a number you can assign to a sign. Typically,
this feature is used for a sign that is connected to other signs on a
network. Assigning a unique serial address allows you to send messages
to that particular sign.
See the document Network Configurations (part number 9708-8046)
for more detailed information on networking signs.
NOTE: The serial address can also be set by using DIP switches
inside the sign. See “Appendix B: Using DIP switches to set
the serial address” on page 25.

NOTE: A serial address is actually a number from
0 to 255 in hexadecimal (00 to FF).
Typically, however, entering a number
from 00 to 99 is fine.
NOTE: When a sign leaves the factory, its serial
address is set to 00.
