3.4  Reader Address Switch 
The reader address switch on the rear panel is used to configure A9240-A-004-485 RFID 
reader’s RS485 network address.    No device on the same RS-485 network should be 
using the same address.    Otherwise, data collision will result and no device on the RS-485 
network will be able to communicate with the remote host controller.    The definition of the 
reader address switch setting is shown in the table below:
