5. Understanding the Hardware
Rotary Switches
The RangeLAN2 Serial 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 7 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 as either a Master or a Station within a
wireless network. The Serial 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 8. The Serial Adapter
is pre-configured to operate using Domain 0. If you
want to set the Domain to a number between 9 and 15,
you must use the software configuration menu. See
Chapter 6 for information on how to access the Serial
Adapter’s software configuration menu.
Note:
Setting the RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter to Domain 9 will
cause the unit to exit from operating mode and enter the
configuration menu at 9600 bps, 8N1. Also, when the
Domain Switch is set to 9, each time the RangeLAN2
Serial Adapter is turned on, it will boot up into the
configuration menu.
