Setting the converter’s DIP switches

Set the DIP switches on the converter so that the settings match the settings you intend to make on your computer.

The DIP switches on the serial-to-parallel converter correspond to the following settings. The equivalent settings that you will need to make in MS-DOS’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or in the Ports option in Win- dows’ Control Panel, are also listed. The converter’s default settings are shown in gray.
