 The TK50 responds to two [[address]]es on the UNIBUS; the initialize poll (IP) [[register]] and the status address (SA) register. The installer may change these addresses by changing the address jumpers on the board. The first TK50's UNIBUS base address is normally 0774500; additional unit are assigned [[floating device address space|floating addresses]].
 The controller module has the following jumpers and switches:
 * Jumper W51, W61, W401 - Manufacturing use only
 * Jumpers W1 through W12 - Address

+The controller responds to two [[address]]es as a slave device on the UNIBUS. These addresses are the addresses of the initialize poll [[register]] and the starting address register. The installer may change these addresses by changing the address [[jumper]]s on the board (Figure 1-5). The base address is the address of the initialize poll (IP) register and the base address plus 2 is the address of the status address (SA) register. Example: If the base address or IP register is located at 17774500 (base 8), the SA register is then located at 1774502 (base 8).
