Setting Connection Dipswitches
When connecting a PC via the RS-232, set dipswitch # 8 to ON. When
connecting a PC via the RS-485, set dipswitch # 8 to OFF.
Dipswitch
# 5 enables or disables Reply from the Matrix Switcher to the PC.
In some applications, it may be desirable for some machines not to reply to
instructions received on the RS-232 and RS-485 ports. If so, set the Reply
dipswitch to OFF.
In the case of interconnection between more than two RS-485 receivers-
transmitters (including PC), the termination resistor must be disconnected on
all the devices, except for the first (usually the PC) and last units on the
communication line. Dipswitch # 4 connects or disconnects the termination
resistor.
1 The default is for Master (SELF ADDRESS=1) and this is the recommended setting for a single machine
