AxTrax AS-525 software. Communication between the ACU and PC is displayed by the
system’s two LEDs.
 The RX LED flashes when the controller receives data
 The TX LED flashes when the controller transmits data
 The ACU address is defined in the AxTrax™ AS-525 software. For successful
communications, the dipswitch must be defined with the same address.
