How to Changing Node Address via Database

Introduction

This guide details how to change the Node address of the controller on the same Chain in the database. This may be required post configuration of a Chain.

Example

Node Address 1 needs to be Node Address 9 (2)

Node Address 9 (2) needs to be Node Address 1

1. Firstly, you will need to power off both Nodes and the DC controllers.
2. Change the addresses of both Nodes on the hardware using the dipswitches of Node 1 and
    Node 2 :

Node 1 = Address 1
Node 2 = Address 9

3. Run SQL Management Studio, open the multiMAX database and Edit the dbo.NodeTable. If
    the Chain is a LAN Chain then double check which one is the first Node in the Chain from
    Install > Node in Symmetry. Change the NodeAddress column to the correct value.
