# Operation modes

The URL in the CG1018 can be configured in three different modes depending on server type which can be B3, B2 or Coolguard (RQS):

* MAC mode is used for B3 where the SERVICE\_URL is defined by MAC address,
* DUAL mode is used for B2 or Coolguard (RQS) with two SERVICE\_URL’s where only sensor alarms affect two relays,
* SINGLE mode which is an old standard, where both relays are controlled by a sensor and communication alarms from a single URL.&#x20;

DUAL and SINGLE modes are compatible with a previous version of Relay Box, with only two relays.

Note that you can use only **one mode at a time**.
