4. Understanding the Hardware
Rotary Switches
The RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter is designed for easy config-
uration by setting two rotary switches located on the bottom of
the unit. The rotary switches are shown in Figure 9 below. Use
the switch setting tool, enclosed in the product package, to
change the position of the rotary switches.
The Station/Master Switch allows the user to externally
set the unit’s Station Type to either a Master or a Sta-
tion within a wireless network. The Ethernet Adapter is
pre-configured so that the switch is set as a Station.
The Domain Switch allows the user to set the Domain
number to a value between 0 and 9. The Ethernet
Adapter is preconfigured to operate using Domain 0. If
you want to set the Domain to a number between 10 and
15, you must use the software configuration menu. See
Chapter 5 for information on how to access the Ethernet
Adapter’s software configuration menu.
