Appendix B. Driver Notes
Appendix B.1. Setting the FieldServer’s DeviceNet MAC ID and Baudrate
The MAC ID and Baudrate can be set in the FieldServer’s CSV file using the
System_Station_Address and DNet_Master_Baudrate parameters or it can be set with DIP switches

Note:
The System_Station_Address parameter must be removed from the configuration file if the DIP

If System_Station_Address has not been defined in the CSV file, the DIP switch value for both MacID
and Baudrate will be used and the baud parameter in the CSV file will be ignored.
