9. Configuration Switches

There are two configuration DIP switches (marked “DS1”) located on the lower
right-hand portion of the interface board, below the Ethernet port.

Switch #1......... Firmware update switch. Place in “OFF” position for normal

operation, and in the “ON” position only when new application
firmware is to be downloaded to the unit. Refer to section 16
for more information.

Switch #2......... RS232 port selection switch. When “OFF” at unit startup, the

RS232 port will act as the serial console, regardless of the
port’s configuration as indicated on the web interface (refer to
section 13.1 for more information on the serial console). When
“ON” at unit startup, the RS232 port carries whatever control
protocol was assigned to it via the web interface. Note that the
state of this switch is only detected when the interface boots up
(from drive power-up or as the result of a soft reset, such as
after a web page “submit” is performed).


10. Internal Battery

The interface has an internal coin-cell type battery that is currently only used to
support the real-time clock when the unit is unpowered. This battery is
designed to last the lifetime of the product under normal use. However, if the
interface is left unpowered for several years, the battery may become
exhausted. If the battery becomes discharged, it can be replaced by removing
all power sources from the connected drive according the required safety
procedures, and then carefully popping out the discharged battery and
replacing it with a Panasonic BR1632 or equivalent component.
