Introduction
You can configure the CopperLink through the hardware configuration via DIP switches.
Hardware (DIP-switch) configuration
To use DIP-switch configuration you must first set the DIP switches to a position other than all
OFF
or all
ON
before
powering-up the CopperLink. When all the DIP switches are set to any position other than all
OFF
or
all
ON
the CopperLink will operate in hardware (DIP-switch)-configuration mode. In DIP-switch-configura-
tion mode the CopperLink will read the DIP-switch settings during system startup and configure itself accord-
ing to the switch settings. Once you power-up the CopperLink in DIP-switch mode, it will operate in DIP-
switch mode until powered down. When operating in DIP-switch mode, you cannot change any configuration
settings.
Table 2
lists the CL1300R’s configurable parameters.
Configuring the DIP switches
The CL1300R is equipped with three sets of DIP switches, which you can use to configure the CopperLink for a
broad range of applications. This section describes switch locations and discusses the configuration options available.
Note
By default, the CopperLink’s DIP switches are all set to “OFF”. The default
configuration for the CopperLink is 89 timeslots (5695 kbps).
The three sets of DIP switches are externally accessible from the underside of the CL1300R (see
figure 3
).
