The Model 2710 features configuration capability via hardware
switches or a software control port. This section describes all possible
hardware and software switch configurations of the NetLink-T1™.
3.1 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The Model 2710 has eight internal DIP switches that allow configu-
ration for a wide range of applications. The eight switches are
accessed by opening the plastic case with a small screwdriver. Figure
1 (below) shows the location of the DIP switches on the bottom of the
printed circuit board.
The Model 2710 DIP switches (Switches SW1 - SW8) can be con-
figured as either “On” or “Off”. Figure 2 (below) shows the orientation
of the DIP switches with respect to ON/OFF positions.
Default positions for Switches SW1-SW8 are shown in the table on
