Configuring the SDI paddle board 805
terminal without having to stop the system. This is also used to perform a
parallel reload of the system software without affecting the operation of
the switch.
Connector pin assignments
The RS-232-C signals for port 1 are brought out on connector J1 and
the RS-232-C signals for port 2 are brought out on connector J2. The
pinouts of J1 and J2 are identical, so Table311 "Connectors J1 and J2 pin
assignments" (page 805) can be used for both ports.

Connectors J1 and J2 pin assignments
Pin # Signal Purpose in DTE mode Purpose in DCE mode
1CD Carrier detect (Note 1) Carrier detect (Not used)
2RD Transmitted data Received data
3TD Received data Transmitted data
4DTR Data terminal ready Data terminal ready (Note 2)
5GND Ground Ground
6DSR Data set ready (Note 1) Data set ready
7RTS Request to send (Not Used) Request to send (Note 2)
8CTS Clear to send (Note 1) Clear to send
Note 1: In DTE mode the signals CD, DSR, and CTS are tied to +12 volts to signify that the port on
the SDI paddle board is always ready to transmit and receive data.
Note 2: In DCE mode the signals DTR and RTS are tied to +12 volts to signify that the port on the
SDI paddle board is always ready to transmit and receive data.
Configuring the SDI paddle board
Configuring the SDI paddle board consists of setting these option switches
for each serial port:
•Port address
•Baud rate
•DTE/DCE/Fiber mode
The SDI paddle board has seven option switches,SW 2–8. Figure 264 "SDI
paddle board option switch locations" (page 808) identifies the location of
option switches on the SDI paddle board. Instructions for setting these
switches are in the section that follows.
