On an existing system, not mine, there is the following: D4-440 on an 8-slot base 6 D4-16TR in slots 0-5 2 D4-DCM in slots 6 & 7 D4-EX on 8-slot base 3 D4-16TR in slots 0-2 3 TCP Quick Panel Jr. One of the Quick Panels has gone out completely and is now not working. What I want to do is replace the 3 QPJ with EZ-Touch Panels. I know I have to remake the cables. The problem is with the DCM’s the manual says that ‘each station must have a unique address’ but the existing system has both set on 01 HEX and it works now?????? Any ideas! Thanks Tommy

    I'm pretty sure that if each DCM is on its own separate network (it's own wire), they can have the same "address ".
