Setting the address
When connecting multiple VSP-8000s, assign the address
(switches 1 to 3) and termination for each unit on its rear panel.
The address can be set from 0 to 4 for each unit.
If the address for a unit is set to 0, then that unit becomes the
master controller.
Note: If an address other than one of those shown in the table
below is set, then "ADDRESS ERROR" will appear
flashing in the menu screen.

Setting the termination
The devices located at each end of the daisy-chain must be set
with their termination turned on.
•
To turn on the termination, set the termination switch of the
ADDRESS/TERMINATE switch to 1 (ON).
•
For all the devices other the ones located at the ends, set the
termination switch to 0 (OFF).
Note: If the termination is not properly set, data will be
reflected at the ends of the daisy-chain and affect other
data, resulting in incorrect data being sent to the various
devices.
