LINK Systems LinkNet II - Manual (Page 85)

Section 8 Using the OmniLink 5000 with LinkNet (Color OIT)
The OmniLink 5000 press automation control gains some powerful new capabilities when combined
with LinkNet. The OmniLink 5000 will work the same way it always has, but with a few additional
screens and softkeys.
8.1 Configuring the OmniLink 5000 for LinkNet (Color OIT)
Before the OmniLink can communicate with LinkNet, it must be assigned a machine number.
No two machines may have the same machine number or a machine number of 0!
Since LinkNet shares a single cable with all machines on the network, the machine number is used
by LinkNet to call out the machine it wants to “talk” to.
