Back Panel

The back panel of the ASCII Unit houses the PC connector and an 8-pin DIP
switch used for setting the communication parameters.

•

Pins 1, 2, and 3 are used for setting the baud rate of port 1.

•

Pins 4, 5, and 6 are used for setting the baud rate of port 2.

•

Pins 7 and 8 are not used but must be set to OFF. If they are left ON, the Hard-
ware Test program will be executed and all RAM data will be lost.

The DIP switch settings are described in more detail in the following diagram.
