Hi Tim,
Looking at our S-7R manual about the optional CWID, it is factory programmed.
We use the id from our controller as the id source.

 have the manufacturer burn a chip for you that plugs into the board. 
 Is there any other way?

Tim,

If the IDer has a PROM then little can and should be done to go another way...a 
new PROM.

Do you know the PROM part number???  If one reads it often one can determine 
the method used for setting up the ID.  Some simply use one to turn on a tong 
gen and a zero to turn off and simply clock a counter thur the addresses and 
maybe use a second data line output that gives a 1 or 0 when finished to stop.

If you know the PROM type one might be able to program and replace.  One 
problem is the PROMs are so old they are hard to find.

Depending on the PROM I might be able to help.

If I remember right the prom they used had more than
one section and so could be re-programmed.  Just one
jumper needed to be changed to address the new
section.
