Configuring the interface board

 

There are 10 dipswitches on the interface board. The switches are used to instruct the 

interface board as to which character to respond to (the opening character), whether to 

respond to a single occurrence or a dual occurrence of the specified opening character; 

and the communication (baud) rate.  
 

In all cases the switches are read as: 

"0" indicates Off/Open 
"1" indicates On/Closed 

* = Factory Setting  

 

The switches are used as follows: 

Switches 1 through 7

 -- are used to set the opening character. The switches are the 

binary representation of the selected ASCII character byte. High bit (#8) is not used. 

Valid characters are 0 "NUL" through 127 "DEL". To select the desired character, please 

refer to the ASCII chart.  
 

Switch 8

 -- is used to determine whether the interface responds to a single occurrence 

of the opening character or whether the drawer requires two identical characters 
(without any intervening characters). Switch 8: *1 = Single /0 = Double  

 

Switches 9 and 10

 -- are used to determine the communication rate of the interface.
