Hi Jesse,
The steps I use to configure an axis for BISS would be:
1.  Set either reverse/forward limit according to requirements, OR
     Set the absolute encoder scale so that the direction matches requirements 2.  Set either reverse/forward limit to match encoder scale direction decided in 1 above, OR      Set absolute encoder scale to match  reverse/forward limit direction decided in 1 above. 3.  Finally set motor direction to match limits/encoder scale. Prefer using EPICS driver facilities over wiring changes.
     The motor wiring should be consistent across installations.
Kind regards,
Mark Clift.
