Protect/Change Factory Configuration
Use switch S1 to change the factory-default configuration settings by
permitting writes to the factory settings section of the EEPROM. This
switch serves as a safety measure and should not be needed under
normal circumstances. When this switch is off (its default setting) the
factory configuration of the EEPROM is protected, so any writes to the
factory area will be ignored. Refer to Figure 2-6 for configuration
settings.
