  There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

  I have a receiver (AXF-RF). I need to set the device number to (129), using the dip switch on the back of the device. The manual says that the device number is set by the "total value of the dip switch in the On position".

  To set to device number 129, set switches 1 and 8 to the "on" position. Explanation: this DIP switch represents a number from 0 to 255. Each switch, turned on, will add a power of 2. Switch 1 adds 1 (2^0), and switch 8 adds 128 (2^7); this makes 129.

  I tried setting the switches 1, 2, 9 to the on (down) position, apparently that is not the way to do it. Can somebody please tell me how to set a device number on this receiver? Thanks

  If there is a switch 9, your DIP switch is strange.

  Thank You
  
  mpullin,
  
  I really appreciate your prompt reply. My mistake, there is no switch 9 (only 1-8). I will try this. I also appreciate the explanation that you offerred. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

  Go get DIPSwitch.exe from amx.com - it does it all for you.

  Yeah - it blew my mind the first time the tweaker extended from my CD-ROM slot and flipped the switches on the ABX-VOL3 I was working on.
