Abstract
In a communication system such as a fire detection system, individual addressable devices determine their addresses from address interface modules at the device locations. An interface module includes wire connectors for receiving system wires and a device connector. The interface module also includes jumper wires which serve as a readable address identifier adapted to be programmed to an address with installation of the module and to be subsequently read by the addressable device.
