Rules for Reading TouchRAM ButtonsRules for Reading TouchRAM Buttons
TTo read a o read a button, the serial setup button, the serial setup must be either “TouchRAM Read” ormust be either “TouchRAM Read” or
“T“TouchRAM Read/Write”. The Data ouchRAM Read/Write”. The Data page setting page setting of “TouchRAM Write TCP/of “TouchRAM Write TCP/

disabled, the TCP/IP address will be read and disabled, the TCP/IP address will be read and processed from a button.processed from a button.
The following processing occurs when a button is read:The following processing occurs when a button is read:
•• If the TCP/IP address is read as 0.0.0.0, nIf the TCP/IP address is read as 0.0.0.0, no additional processing occurs.o additional processing occurs.
•• If the TCP/IP address is the same as the onIf the TCP/IP address is the same as the one on the LASAIR II, then noe on the LASAIR II, then no
