3.1. SetUp Switches
The SetUp Switches select the baud rate and Off Time, and enable/disable the Password
feature and Read Only Mode. If switch settings are changed while the unit is powered On,
press the Default Button to re-read switches. The Default Button allows the user to change
switch settings while power is on, without re-booting the RPB+ and connected devices.
Note: If Rate Switch settings are changed while the unit is powered on, new
parameters will not take effect until the Default Button is pressed, or the RPB+
is powered Off and On.
Off Time: When a boot cycle is initiated, the "Off Time" determines the length of time the
device will remain off until power is restored.
Password: When enabled, a password is required in order to access the RPB+ Command
Mode (Default = [Enter]). To re-define the Password, refer to Section 4.
Read Only Mode: When enabled, the /P command (Define Parameters) is suppressed. This
