Setting Jumpers
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module’s flash memory. In "write
protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module’s firmware cannot be
overwritten. The module is shipped with the Setup jumper OFF. Do not jumper the Setup
pins together unless you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support (or to update
the module firmware).
