Addressing (Numbering) of SAT III
Controllers
The WCC III system can have up to 239 SAT III controllers. In
order for the central computer to communicate properly with each
individual SAT III controller, each controller must be assigned a
separate number, or address. The number is assigned by placing
the small dip switches on the front of the SAT III controller marked
“SAT ADDRESS” in the proper position.

The address dip switches are additive; that is to say placing
switches 1 and 2 in the ON position will cause the SAT III
controller to be identifi ed as satellite controller number 3. The SAT
III controller looks at the position of these switches only when it
is going through its initialization process after being powered up.
Simply changing the switch positions on a SAT III controller that is
currently “on-line” will not change its number. The switches need
to be placed in the proper position before powering up the SAT III
controller, or the SAT III must be powered down and then back up
for the SAT III to “read” the new position of the switches. When
placing the switches in the desired position, make sure the switch
has “clicked” into place and is properly seated.
