5.2.3.4 Apartment basis address
”Basis address”
The unique identifier for the installation is allocated randomly at first start of the digitalSTROM Server and can be changed later. The basis address assists as additional addressing in preventing overlapping effects of systems installed in close vicinity.
The basis address, which is configured in the digitalSTROM Server, determines the address of the digitalSTROM Server and thus the increasing sequential numbering of the connected digitalSTROM Meters.
The Apartment Basis Address which is valid for the digitalSTROM installation must be configured once in the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator on the digitalSTROM Server. The numbering of the digitalSTROM Meters is then automatically transmitted to the connected digitalSTROM Meters.
The freely selectable address is between 0 ... 62. The basis address + the maximum number of connected digitalSTROM Meters must not exceed 62.
This allows a maximum of 62 digitalSTROM power circuits (digitalSTROM Meters) located closely to each other to be operated in a building.
In a multi-family residential building with several independent digitalSTROM installations it is therefore especially important to ensure that the address ranges do not overlap.
