Configuration

The three sets of DIP switches on the underside of the LB510A-R2 are referred to as S1, S3 and S4. For basic configuration, use DIP switch S1. For testing the LB510A-R2, use DIP switch S3. To con- figure the rate, use DIP switch S4. This figure shows the DIP switch orientation, with respect to ON and OFF positions, is consis- tent for all switches.

2.4 SYSTEM RESET MODE

To enter system reset mode, turn the S1-1 DIP switch to the ON position and power cycle the unit. For information on how to upgrade the software, refer to section 6 “Software Upgrade” on page 33. For more information on applying factory default configu- ration to the LB510A-R2, refer to section 7 “Reset configuration to factory defaults” on page 34.

You can configure the LB510A-R2 by setting the DIP switches to the desired positions before you power up the device. If the DIP switches are set to anything other than all OFF or all ON, the LB510A-R2 will operate in DIP switch configuration mode. Once the device is powered up and operating in DIP switch configuration mode, you cannot change configuration by any method until you power it down again.

The following tables provide an overview of the LB510A-R2 DIP switch functions.
