5.6 Configurable serial port
The configuration of the physical serial mode is done by a set of 4 dip switches located on left side from the unit. The
settings of the switches are shown in the table below (note: switch 1 is the most right one).
Note: the 3 switch configurations shown here above are the sole configurations giving satisfactory
results. See important remarks about this configuration on the next page.
Warning: Contrary to indications on the label, the switch 2 is reserved and must stay OFF. Note that
switch 3 & 4 need to have the same position (both ON or both OFF). When they are ON, it
connects the internal polarisation (typ 680 Ohms) and termination (typ 120 Ohms) resistors.
This configuration applies only to RS4xx lines conforming to good practices.
