Table 11.1 – Version Tag Format
The serial number is set by a 13-character text string called ClickSupervisorDefaultSerial-
Number. This string is written to the device if the device boots with the bytes of the firm-
ware version string set to 0xFF. The serial number can be manually set using a production
driver in Click Supervisor. The serial number is not overwritten by a reset to factory de-
faults settings.
Note
The last five characters of the serial number are used to set a decimal number. The
lowest-16 bits of the decimal number then represent the default communication ID.
For example, the string 99999 sets a decimal number 99999 (hex 0x01869F). The
lowest 16-bits represent the communications ID of 34463 (hex 0x00896F). The com-
munications ID is editable in Click Supervisor using the Expert driver.
The ClickSupervisorDefaultDescription 32-character text string is displayed in the Click
Supervisor device auto-discovery window. While this string can be as long as 32 characters,
only about the first 18 will be seen in the auto-discovery list. Usually, the General tab in
the Expert driver will allow you to view all 32 characters of this string. The ClickSupervis-
orDefaultModuleDescription 32-character text string is a secondary field used to describe
