fied that the first procedure is complete, proceed with
the next procedure.

Configuring Serial Port 1

This procedure describes how to set the port speed for Serial
Port 1(J1), connect the PC cable to Serial Port 1, and config-
ure Serial Port 1.

by setting SW4-5 to the down (open) position. The red
eight position DIP switch is located at the far left side

Replace the GMT fuse. The unit’s green POWER LED

indicator turns On.
