Serial Data Configuration
In order for the host device, which is connected to the Master
Port of the Smart Switch, to select a port, the Smart Switch must be
set to match the host's communication format. This is accomplished
by setting an eight position DIP switch labeled "SW1" located inside
the Smart Switch. Refer to Figure 2. Switch positions 1 through 4
select the baud rate. Switch position 5 selects 7 or 8 data bits.
Refer to Table 1. The remaining switch positions will be discussed
later. Always power down the Smart Switch before changing switch
settings.
