3.3 Switch Settings
Refer to Figure 1 in this chapter. Switch S1 is used to
reverse the TD and RD lines on the EIA-232 interface.
This eliminates the need to swap these two lines in your
EIA-232 cables. If you connect the SHM-B to your
equipment using a “straight-through” or “2:2” cable,
then S1 must be set to the opposite of your device’s
configuration. For example, if your device is configured
as DTE, select DCE on S1. If you use a “2:3” or “3:2”
cable to connect the SHM-B to your equipment, then
the setting for S1 will be identical to your equipment’s
setting. Refer to your equipment’s manual for
