Position
9 on Dipswitch 2 is for selecting the adapter
’
s operational mode and will
be
discussed in more detail in Chapter 2. Position 10 should be down for normal
operation. The other switch positions on Dipswitch 1 define the TIWAY I
network
parameters and are discussed in more detail in Chapter 4.
To
select the BDLC protocol as the operating protocol, set position 1 of Dipswitch
1 down as shown in Figure 3–11. With BDLC, the host port parameters are
configured with both dipswitches. Since the data is transferred as 8-bit bytes,
there
is no parity bit selection.
