Network Configuration
The final section to setup is the network address. In all instances, this must be done before the controller is plugged into the site network.
The controllers have an auto-initialise function, which will automatically log the device onto the site network. If the wrong address has
been entered onto the network, you will have to reset the controller address by setting the address to 00-0, and then re-enter the correct
address. (You may have to deregister the wrong address from the home system as well).
To set the controller onto a network you must first connect the controller to a communications module. This is either a: -
 485 Legacy, or
 IP Futura
 Mercury Switch
485 Legacy module
485 legacy support the following protocol: -
 Genus
Connecting a 485 legacy module to the controller will govern which set up screens are made available.
