The bus is to be biased at one end to ensure fail-safe operation, which can be done
using the pull-up and pull-down resistors on the communication module. In 4-wire
connection the pull-up and pull-down resistors are selected by setting jumpers X3,
X5, X7 and X8 to enabled position. The bus termination is selected by setting
jumpers X6 and X9 to enabled position.
The jumpers have been set to no termination and no biasing as default.
