Setting the Hardware Base Address ID
Once there is a physical connection to the network, you must assign a Hardware ID (also
referred to as a base address) to the CAB. This is done by selecting numbers using dials on
the front of the unit. This is an important step in the installation procedure as the ID will be
used to identify the unit on the network and allow audio to be passed through it.
The Hardware ID is also specified in the NWare software to allow communications between
the CAB and its control panel (the yellow CAB 4n icon
).
 To set the Hardware Base Address ID on the CAB 4n
1. Remove the screws from the CAB face plate to gain access to the hardware base address
switches.
Tip: If you look carefully, there is a small arrow on each switch indicating the selected
number.
2. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, carefully set each rotary switch to the desired
number. You will feel a click as you move between digits.
A Hardware Base Address has 4 digits. Acceptable values are in hex and range from
0001 to 7FFF. From left to right, the four rotary switches represent your 4 digit
Hardware Base Address number.
Caution: Be careful not to damage a switch by using excessive force.
Note: Each CAB on the network must have a unique Hardware Base Address.
What to do next
The CAB 4n is managed and configured using NWare. Refer to the section Adding a CAB 4n
to your design in the NWare User Guide to see how to use a CAB 4n in your audio system
design.
