- Bus Indentifier
- A Bus Identifier (sometimes referred to as Address) applies to equipment that is connected to Bus (RS485) ports in The Attendant. This concept is similar to a MAC address in the computer world. This identifier is used to differentiate between multiple pieces of equipment connected into a single port.
For example, the Bus Identifier on a pump allows The Attendant to send commands to that one specific pump even if multiple pumps are connected to that port. A bus identifier must be configured for all devices connected to Bus type ports. Some manufacturers allow you to assign each device a Bus Identifier number starting with 1 and going up based on how many pieces equipment that you have connected. Other manufacturers will pre-assign a unique identifier to each device.

- DMX
- DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a protocol used to control devices such as lights or other stage equipment. The signal is unidirectional, meaning it only travels in one direction; from the controller or first light, all the way to the last. In its most basic form, DMX is just a protocol for lights, like how MIDI is for keyboards or DAW controllers. To understand what DMX consists of, you need to know about lighting modes, DMX channels, and DMX controllers.
- DMX Channel
- DMX consists of 512 individual channels which are known as a Universe. Each channel or channels are assigned to control different parameters (known as a personality) of the light, such as color, rotation, or strobe, and have data values of 0-255. Think of the data values like a fader on the mixer; the higher the data value, the more intense the function becomes.

- UUID
- A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit label used for information in computer systems.
When generated according to the standard methods, UUIDs are, for practical purposes, unique. Their uniqueness does not depend on a central registration authority or coordination between the parties generating them, unlike most other numbering schemes. While the probability that a UUID will be duplicated is not zero, it is generally considered close enough to zero to be negligible.
Thus, anyone can create a UUID and use it to identify something with near certainty that the identifier does not duplicate one that has already been, or will be, created to identify something else. Information labeled with UUIDs by independent parties can therefore be later combined into a single database or transmitted on the same channel, with a negligible probability of duplication.
