Configuration and Installation

Positions 1-4: Carrier signal enable/disable

DIP Switch positions 1-4 on the CARRIER/BAUD DIP switch determine wether the AXB-IRS4 transmits carrier signals along with the IR equipment codes.

!If DIP switch positions 1 through 4 are set to the up position, the carrier signal is enabled and the AXB-IRS4 transmits IR equipment codes at device-specific signal frequencies.

!If DIP switch positions 1 through 4 are set to NC (down), the carrier signal is disabled and the IR equipment codes transmit without the carrier signal.

Set the DIP switch positions 1 through 4 when you determine the port assignments and signal requirements for the IR and serial devices in your system.

Position 5: RS-232/PCTouch mode

DIP switch position 5 on the CARRIER/BAUD DIP switch sets either RS-232 or PCTouch mode. If you enable PCTouch mode, the AXB-IRS4 will only respond to PCTouch (PCCOM) command protocol. If you enable RS-232 mode, the AXB-IRS4 will respond to the standard AXB-IRS4 control protocol, PCCOM control protocol, and SX-DCU+ control protocol. You can also use RS- 232 mode to download codes to the AXB-IRS4 with the IRLIB software program.

!Position 5 (up): RS-232 mode enabled.

!Position 5 (down): PCTouch mode enabled.

Refer to the PCTouch/ PCDesign Instruction Manual for detailed PCTouch program information.

Positions 6-8: Baud rate setting

DIP switch positions 6-8 on the CARRIER/BAUD DIP switch sets the baud rate for RS232 communications. Communication settings are 1 stop bit, 8 data bits, and no parity. The following table shows the baud rate settings on the CARRIER/BAUD DIP switch.
