Unit Address is compared to the Effective Destination Address, and if the two
are identical, the data will be received.
Note: Logically 1 AND 1 = 1, 0 AND 0 = 0, 1 AND 0 = 0, 0 AND 1 = 0
` Figure 2 (Address Filtering)
One effect of this is that an address mask of 0000 will cause the M7-UC
modem to received any data from any unit that transmits. The Destination
Address will effectively be ignored if the mask is set to 0000.
Addressing Examples:
Example 1 (default configuration)
Sending Destination Address = 1234
Receiving Unit Address = 1234
Receiving Unit’s Address Mask = FFFF
Result: Unit will receive the data, because the addresses identically match. When the
addresses are identical, the value of the mask is not important.
Notes: This is the default configuration. All units have address 1234, and all modems will
talk to all other modems with address 1234.
Example 2 (a configuration that won’t work)
Sending to Destination Address = 1236
Receiving Unit Address = 1234
Receiving Unit’s Address Mask = FFFF
Result: No data will be received, because the address do not match, and the address
mask of FFFF requires that all digits in the address match. .
Example 3 (able to receive a data from a group, 1230 – 123F)
Sending to Destination Address = 1236
