3.0 CONFIGURATION

Before you can install and operate your Model 2500RC Series CSU/DSU, you must configure both the front and rear cards. The Model 2500RC Series has two sets of eight switches (S1 and S2), a reversible interface driver board and two Rotary Address switches (MSD and LSD). The 2500RC also has software switches which may be configured with the Patton Model 1000CC control card (not supplied), using a VT-100 type RS-232 terminal. Rear card configuration is accomplished by means of hardware straps.

3.1 FRONT CARD CONFIGURATION - HARDWARE SWITCHES

The Model 2500RC Series front card defaults to the use of hardware switches for configuration. Hardware switches consist of two eight-position DIP switches, and two rotary switches (see Figure 1, below).
