the last base in the backplane instead of the base that was
shipped with the I/O module.

Set the Node Address

To set the node address, adjust the switches on the front of the
module (refer to the illustration on page 1). Use a small blade
screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the small notch on the
switch with the number setting you wish to use. The two switches are
most significant digit (MSD) and least significant digit (LSD). The
switches can be set from 01 through 99. The module reads the
switches at power-up.

The rotary switches are read periodically. If the switches have been
changed since the last time they were read and they no longer match
the on line address, a minor fault will occur, which is indicated by a
flashing red Adapter Status LED.
