Serial Data Configuration

In order for the host device, which is connected to the Master Port of the Smart Switch, to select a port, the Smart Switch must be set to match the host's communication format. This is accomplished by setting an eight position DIP switch labeled "SW1" located inside the Smart Switch. Refer to Figure 2. Switch positions 1 through 4 select the baud rate. Switch position 5 selects 7 or 8 data bits. Refer to Table 1. The remaining switch positions will be discussed later. Always power down the Smart Switch before changing switch settings.
