3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2036 and 2037 are simple to install and designed for
excellent reliability. The following instructions will help you set up and
install your converter properly. If you have any questions, please call
Patton Technical Support at (301) 975-1007.
3.1 CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
The Model 2036 and 2037 each use a set of eight external DIP
switches (see Figure 1) that allow configuration to a wide range of
applications. Because all eight switches are in one externally
accessible DIP switch package, there is no need to open the case for
configuration. The configuration switches allow you to select data
rates, parity, word length and flow control selection. The following
section describes all switch locations, positions and functions.
The Model 2036 and 2037 each use a
miniature
configuration
switch package. To configure your unit, use a small screwdriver and
gently push each switch to its proper setting. The ON and OFF
positions are shown in Figure 2. Default settings for the DIP switches
are shown in the table on the following page. Detailed settings follow
the table.
