Since each system only needs one command station, you only need one
DCS50 performing this function. When you are ready to add one or
more additional DCS50s to the system, you’ll need to disable the
command station feature of the additional units. This is done by
changing Option Switch 02 to closed. You can also set up these one
or more of these additional DCS50s to act as an automatic reversing
booster by setting Option Switch 03 to closed.

mand station capabilities:

change Option Switch 02.

address used by the DCS50 with the walking Ls through the display.
