Chapter 2: SETUP The 232MSS2 is set up using an eight-position dipswitch. This
dipswitch is used to set the communication format, port config-
uration, smart switch/port combiner mode and to enable/disable the
enhanced features. To change the settings on the switch, remove
the power from the unit, and remove the screws (4) from the bottom
of the 232MSS2. The dipswitch is located on the top of the PC board
(side with LEDs) and is labeled “SW1.” The other dipswitch, labeled
“SW2” is used to set the second character of the preamble. After the
switches have been set to match your requirements, you can put the
unit back together. NOTE: The end panel should be open end
towards the bottom of the PC board and the smooth side goes
toward the inside. Table 1 shows the settings for dipswitch “SW1”.
