Selecting the Network Address
Each TIWAY I Network Secondary must have a unique binary network address. The
range of valid addresses is 1 to 254 (0000 0001 to 1111 1110 on switches 1–8 of the
Network Address Selection dipswitch). Selecting addresses 0 or 255
(0000 0000 or 1111 1111) on the Network Address Selection dipswitch will cause the NIM
to initialize in a test mode, and the NIM will fail to operate properly. See Table 2A for
address values (bit weight) of each switch and Table 2B for addressing examples.
