The DB9 female cable end which mates with the serial port connectors of connected devices will often have a pair
of screw-down cable screws. These cable screws should be used to assure a solid connection of the cable with
the device.
Default settings for the serial ports are 19200-baud, 8-bit word length, no parity, and one stop bit (19200, 8N1).
Use the internal setup menu to adjust these settings.
Internal Modem
If a dialup POTS modem is installed, an RJ-11 (typical U.S. phone) connector is used. A POTS (analog) dialup
phone line is inserted into this connector. The modem installed within this unit is FCC certified. For further
information, consult the
appendix or the serial number label on the bottom of the
S530.
* Expansion Card Slots
The S530 features two or six Expansion Card slots in which optional Expansion Cards can be installed to expand
the capabilities of ) for more information on Expansion
Cards.
DIP Switches
The bank of 8 DIP switches on the back panel of the S530 are used to control the baud and parity settings of I/O
2, to set the operational mode for I/O 2, and to put the unit into “boot load mode” where it can be forced to load a
new application (firmware image). The following table shows how to set the various DIP switches to obtain
certain settings:
I/O 2 Baud
SW1

Note:
Boot Load Mode can only be set by flipping ALL DIP switches to the ON or UP position. This is not a
setting that can be configured via internal menu settings, or Setting Keys.
Note:
For settings that can be set either via DIP switch, internal menu settings, or Setting Keys, the S530
always pays attention to the last setting, regardless of how it was done. So if the internal setting for I/O 2 Port
Mode is Command, and someone flips SW4 to the ON or UP position, the Mode is immediately set to Data.
