Because switch 1 is set to ON, the board is in RS-232 mode. Switch 2 set to ON
indicates that handshaking is enabled. With handshake enabled, switch 3 set
to OFF indicates software handshaking. Switch 4 set to ON enables parity
checking. Switch 5 set to OFF indicates odd parity.
Switches 6 through 8 combine to indicate baud rate. See Table 4 for switch
settings and their corresponding baud rates. Switches 6 and 8 set to ON and 7
set to OFF combine to form a RS-232 baud rate of 9600 as shown in Table 4.
