WCI Installation
WCI installation includes addressing, mounting, and wiring. Follow the instructions given in the following
sections.
WCI Addressing
This section describes the addressing scheme and procedure for the Air-Fi® Wireless Communications
Interface (WCI). WCIs can be ordered either pre-addressed or without addresses. Verify pre-addressed
WCI prior to installation.
Note: The default address is 1,1.
The following figure illustrates the addressing scheme used for WCIs. Four networks and two
Tracer SC+ controllers are shown, with each Tracer SC+ communicating on two networks. Follow this
procedure to set the WCI address for network communication. The table that follows in this subsection
provides address setting details.
Important: Addresses must be set on WCIs before applying power to them.
1. Set the left (GRP) rotary address switch for each WCI that is in the same Tracer SC+ group to an
identical number. (A Tracer SC+ group refers to all of the networks that communicate with the same
Tracer SC.)
2. Set the right (NET) rotary address switch for each WCI that is to be on the same network to an
identical number. If there are multiple networks in a Tracer SC+ group, each network in that group
must have a unique number.
Note: The NET address (ranging from 1–8) must match the wireless link on Tracer SC.

Notes:
• Refer to the Air-Fi® Network Design Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual (BAS-
SVX55*-EN) to see an example of network addressing from a floor plan perspective.
• Controllers can be UC, Symbio™, BCI-I/R or BCI2-I/R.
