Rotary Dial Address Mode
Step 1 - Set up the Network ID and Device Address
The wireless RF network is defined by the Network ID (NID) assigned to the Gateway and its Nodes. Each
device within this common network must have a unique Device Address assigned.
For factory configured kits, the Network ID and Device Addresses have been assigned. Otherwise, use the
Rotary Switches (shown right) to define both the NID and Device Address for each device. Follow the steps
below to set up your DX80 network.
To operate more than 15 Nodes in your wireless network, refer to the instructions on extended address mode and device binding.
Setting the Network ID
1. Remove rotary switch access covers. Turn counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to tighten.
2. On the Gateway, set the left rotary switch to 1. The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1. Set to another Network ID when
operating more than one network in the same area.
3. On all Nodes (within the same network), set the left rotary switch to 1. Assign the same NID to all devices within a single network
(hexidecimal 0-F).
Setting the Device Address
4. On the Gateway, set the right rotary switch to 0.
A device address of 0 on the Gateway displays settings for the Gateway itself. To view settings for another device on the network,
adjust the right rotary switch on the Gateway to the desired device address.
5. On the first Node (device address = 1), set the right rotary switch to 1. Do not change the Device ID for preconfigured kits as this
would affect the factory mapping of the I/O.
6. On the second Node (device address = 2), set the right rotary switch to 2.
7. Continue setting the device address for each additional Node using a unique number (...3,4,5).
Final Steps
8. Install rotary switch access covers. Please refer to the Installation section for IP67 instructions. A successful RF link is identified by a
blinking green LED 1 on each node.

Setting up a Network Using Rotary Switch Address Mode
This set of instructions describes how to set up a SureCross wireless network using Rotary Dial Address
Mode. Banner recommends using Extended Addressing Mode, but some older products may only
recognize Rotary Dial Address Mode.
