*Note: Switches S1-1 and S1-2 should be switched simultaneously.
Switches S1-7 and S1-8 should also be switched simultaneously.
S1-1 and S1-2: “Transmit Off” Impedance
Switches S1-1 and S1-2 are set together to determine whether the receiving
device “sees” the impedance of the Converter’s transmitter as being “high”
or “intermediate” when the transmitter is turned off. The “intermediate”
setting is useful in half-duplex environments where the receiving device
does not respond well to the “high” setting.

S1-3: RTS/CTS Delay
The setting for switch S1-3 determines the amount of delay between the
time the Converter “sees” RTS and when it sends CTS. Note: RTS/CTS
Delay setting should be based upon transmission timing.
