5.4.1 Setting the MACHINE #
The MACHINE # determines the position of a VS-66FW unit, specifying
which VS-66FW unit is being controlled when several VS-66FW units
connect to a PC or serial controller. Set the MACHINE # on a VS-66FW unit
via DIPS 1, 2, 3 and 4, according to Table 4.
When using a stand-alone VS-66FW unit, set the MACHINE # to 1. When
connecting more than one VS-66FW unit, set the first machine that is closest
to the PC, as MACHINE # 1.

a BRANCH FireWire device to a LEAF FireWire device, from a distance of up
to 1000 meters. Figure 7 illustrates how to connect the remote push buttons:
