Communications Teledyne API T703/T703U Calibrator Operation Manual
106
5.1.6. MACHINE ID
Each model of Teledyne API instruments is initially configured with a default Machine
ID code, which is editable; all T703 calibrators have a Machine ID of either 703 or 0.
The Machine ID number is only important if more than one calibrator is connected to
the same communications channel such as when several calibrators are on the same
Ethernet LAN, in a RS-232 multidrop chain (See Section 5.3) or operating over a RS-
485 network (See Section
5.4): If two calibrators of the same model type are used on
one channel, th
eir Machine ID numbers must differ.
To edit the instrument’s Machine ID, press:

The ID number is only important if more than one calibrator is connected to the same
communications channel (e.g., a multi-drop setup). Different models of Teledyne API’s
calibrators have different default ID numbers, but if two calibrators of the same model
type are used on one channel (for example, two T703’s), the ID of one instrument needs
to be changed.
The ID can also be used for to identify any one of several calibrators attached to the
same network but situated in different physical locations.
