MICRO ASYNC TO SYNC CONVERTER

3.2 Switch Settings

All possible settings for the Converter’s configuration
switches are presented in 

Table 3-1

. If you have

additional questions about configuration, call Black Box
Technical Support at 724-746-5500.

Switches SW1-1 and SW1-2 are set in combination to
determine the character length for asynchronous data.
