Note
You address Lucent wallboards using the remote control unit
that comes with the wallboard. Refer to the user’s guide that
comes with the wallboard.
You address a Lucent wallboard using hexadecimal notation.
However, when you enter a wallboard address in the BCMS
Vu configuration procedure, you must use decimal notation.
Furthermore, BCMS Vu accepts wallboard addresses only
from 0 to 127 (decimal).
For a table that translates hexadecimal addresses into
decimal addresses, refer to “Installing the Wallboard” in
Chapter 5 of BCMS Vu Software R2 Installation Guide.
Note
Only COM Port numbers from 1 through 8 are allowed.
