4. F For the Galaxy software to recognize specific modules in a group each module in a group setting HAS to have a unique ID number When ran the software will detect a module s specific ID and add unity to it Therefore if a module has an ID of 1 the software will detect it as ID2 while an ID of 2 will be detected as ID3 and so forth 98 Frequently Asked Questions This chapter guides you to some of the questions you may encounter when using your MKC Question Can I read the firmware version when starting up the Galaxy software via the RS 232 port Answer No When using the RS 232 port to connect you will need to disconnect the cable connecting the MKC via the Keypad port This will cause a disconnection on data transmission between the MKC and VCC thereby causing you to be unable to read the firmware version Use IP to connect and start the Galaxy software instead because both IP and Keypad ports can be connected simultaneously Question Can I set a different ID number for the MKC and VCC 8000 modules Answer No Both ID numbers must be the same When both the MKC and VCC 8000 s ID number has been changed you need to restart the devices Question When cascading multiple MKC and VCC 8000 is there a limitation when setting the sequence of the ID numbers Answer Yes The VCC 8000 that belongs to the same group cascaded via the DVI cable must follow the Module ID s sequence from smallest to the biggest
