RegCom Address Selection

Each Regcom unit on the RS-485 network must be set with a unique network address. The address is selected using

switches 1-5 from the bank of DIP switches on the rear of the unit. The address must correspond to the DVR channel

number that the text is to be associated with. The address must be set in binary code (see below), SW1 being the

“least significant bit”.
