Parallel termination resistors are supplied on each differential pair along with a switch to allow the user to select which lines are terminated and where. In some systems it will make sense to terminate the lines in the cable and in others it will make sense to use the onboard terminations.

The Switch Read Port has the user bits. The user bits are connected to 6 switch positions. The switches allow custom configurations to be defined by the user and for the software to “know” how to configure the read/write capabilities of each IO line. Please note that the lower 6 bits of the switch are implemented [positions 7 & 8 are unused]. The
