Configuring the serial ports
All three ports on the T-switch can be configured for
transmission rate, data format and handshake procedure
completely independently of each other. This feature allows
you to connect the T-switch to terminal devices which use
different serial data formats.
The modular construction of the T-switch allows you to
incorporate other interface modules to convert the interface
type within the device. Especially when larger quantities are
involved changing over the T-switch with other interface
modules represents an economical alternative to the
external converters otherwise commonly used. Please contact
us with any requirements for special versions of the T-switch.
You set the serial parameters using three DIL switch banks
SW1..SW3 inside the device. The position and arrangement of
the DIL switch banks with respect to the corresponding port
can be seen in the following sketch.
