Patton electronic 2025 - Manual (Page 5)

3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2025 is simple to install and designed for excellent
reliability: just set it and forget it. The following instructions will help
you set up and install the converters properly. If you have any
questions, please call Patton Technical Support at (301) 975-1007.
3.1 CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
The Model 2025 uses a set of eight external DIP switches (see
Figure 1) that allow configuration to a wide range of applications.
Because all eight switches are in one externally accessible DIP switch
package, there is no need to open the case for configuration. The
configuration switches allow you to select data rates, parity, word length
and flow control selection. The following section describes all switch
locations, positions and functions.
The Model 2025 uses a miniature configuration switch package
(see Figure 2). To configure your unit, use a small screwdriver and
gently push each switch to its proper setting. The ON and OFF
positions are shown in Figure 2. Default settings for the DIP switches
are shown in the table on the following page. Detailed settings follow
the table.
