To reassemble:
1. Slide the printed circuit board into the topmost slot in the case (the one closest to the front panel label). The male DE9
should be at the right hand ("Host RS232") end of the case.
Note:
It is normal for one of the solder connections on the PCB near the male DE9 connector to make contact with the
case.
2. Replace the plastic surround, then the end plate.
3. Fasten the two screws

Configuration Switches
By default, the CANgate's host RS232 port is configured for 57600 baud, hardware flow control (RTS/CTS), 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit. This should be suitable for most applications, however these settings can be changed by setting the internal
DIP switch, as shown below. The factory default is all switches OFF.

Note:
Switch numbers refer to the numbers printed on the switch itself. Ignore the labels marked on the printed circuit board.
Note:
The switch settings are only checked immediately after power up. Changing the switches during operation has no
effect.
The
Factory Defaults
setting can be used to force CANgate to revert to a factory default state, ie. verbose mode off, both
CAN ports disabled, GPS baud rate 4800, all memory slots cleared. Set the switches as indicated above (ie. switches 1-7
ON), then cycle the power – all LEDs should illuminate briefly – then return the switches to their normal setting and cycle the
power again.
The
Bootstrap Mode
switch provides an alternative way of entering Bootstrap Mode, which is only used when upgrading
CANgate firmware.
