The 485A option shows a value representing either the name of the controller in a Genus compatible network.
The value shown is of the form 05-6. This means the controller would try to log onto a Genus compatible network using the name
‘RC05-6’.
The following options are also available when the network type is set to Genus compatible.
The gAdd option displays (in hexadecimal format) the underlying network address assigned to the controller when it was logged onto the
network.
The rLog option allows the controller to be logged back onto the network with its current name. The ‘rLog’ message will flash for
confirmation. Press the Enter button to execute the command, Up or Down buttons to cancel.

IP Futura module
In an IP system there are two options
 IP-L
 IP-r
IP-L allows you to fix an IP address into the controller, which you would use when you are connecting the controllers onto a customer’s
local area network. This would allow the customer to view each controller using Internet Explorer
IP-r allows you to give each controller on the system a unique number. This number is then allocated a dynamic IP address by the
system DHCP server (such as the RDM Data Director)
IP-L
To configure the communication module for IP-L, set all three rotary switches to zero. The module should then be connected to the
controller.
