Room ID # Setting:

Use S# for standard system stations 1-48. Use A# for expanded system stations 1-250. Use B# for expanded system stations 251-500.

For tenant stations 251-500, the dip switch assignment is the same as 1-250. Tenant stations 1-250 wire to Sub 1A and Sub 1B of the GT-BCX while tenants 251-500 wire to Sub 2A and Sub 2B (see page 4).

Note: 8 binary digits allows for 255 unique numbers. Only numbers 1-250 are used by the GT system.
