USER MANUAL
Next set the positions on Dipswitch 2 to correspond with the communication
parameters set for the host computer. The adapter
always communicates with
the
host computer using seven data bits, one start bit, and
one stop bit. The baud
rate
settings for Positions 5–8 of Dipswitch 2 are shown in T
able 3–2.
Position 1 of Dipswitch 2 enables or disables parity bit generation and
checking.
Position 2 of Dipswitch 2 selects even or odd parity when parity
generation
and checking is enabled.
Position 3 of Dipswitch 2 selects full duplex or half duplex operation.
Position
4 of Dipswitch 2 selects synchronous or asynchronous modem
communications.
Selecting synchronous only enables the
adapter to use
the TxCLK (DD) and RxCLK (DB) RS–232–C control signals. The
adapter will not process synchronous control characters from
synchronous
data link protocols such as BiSync.
