Note: When switching from EVL back to RS-485 mode, all EVL Secondary (DS) controllers
are automatically unregistered from the primary so that they may be used again as
RS-485 DS controllers.
Note: When switching from EVL to RS-485 mode, if the EVL primary can not communicate
with the DS controller, then the DS controller remains an EVL controller until it is set
back to factory defaults.
Note: Switching to RS-485 mode causes deregistration of EVL Secondary controllers from
the primary. Suggestion: Save the configuration database if you might later switch
back to EVL mode.
