Green LED indicates link - when illu-
minated, data communication is available.
Yellow LED indicates activity - when
flashing, data is in transmission.

The DIP switches are used to provide a built-in termination
to both the MJ1 port and MJ2 port if needed. The ter-
mination for these ports should only be used if this device is
located at either end of the multidrop/daisy- chained RS-
485 network.
