5.Understanding the Hardware Rotary Switches

The RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter is designed for easy config- uration by setting two rotary switches located on the bottom of the unit. The rotary switches are shown in Figure 7 below. Use the switch setting tool, enclosed in the product package, to change the position of the rotary switches.

❑The Station/Master Switch allows the user to externally set the unit as either a Master or a Station within a wireless network. The Serial Adapter is pre-configured so that the switch is set as a Station.

❑The Domain Switch allows the user to set the Domain number to a value between 0 and 8. The Serial Adapter is pre-configured to operate using Domain 0. If you want to set the Domain to a number between 9 and 15, you must use the software configuration menu. See Chapter 6 for information on how to access the Serial Adapter’s software configuration menu.

Note:

Setting the RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter to Domain 9 will cause the unit to exit from operating mode and enter the configuration menu at 9600 bps, 8N1. Also, when the Domain Switch is set to 9, each time the RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter is turned on, it will boot up into the configuration menu.
