About addressing signs
The software and network uses sign addresses to identify each sign and send messages. To send messages
to the correct signs, they must be correctly addressed. To make this easier, there is an addressing
convention for each type of sign. By using this convention, you can be confident that the right messages
will display on the appropriate sign(s). In general, sign addressing follows the conventions listed in
Table 1: "Sign addressing conventions"
Box Office sign addressing considerations
If your theater will display performance information on Box Office signs and will repeat the information,
you can duplicate addresses.
