ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed which enable a numeric parameter to be set on an electronic device without the need for a mechanical parameter selecting switch. An existing user interface device, e.g., a button, and an existing user signaling device, e.g., a power light, may be used to set the parameter on a non-volatile memory device which may be provided in association with the electronic device. This allows a parameter, such as an address location, to be set on an electronic device, such as a computer peripheral device, without the need for a mechanical parameter selecting switch.
