questions, call Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500.
3.1 Configuration Switches
The Async/Sync Fiber Optic Modem uses a unique set of 16 external mini DIP
switches that allow configuration to an extremely wide range of applications. These
16 DIP switches are grouped in two eight-switch sets, and are externally accessible
from the underside of the modem (see Figure 3-1).
The configuration switches allow you to select data rates, clocking methods, V.52
and V.54 tests, word lengths, extended signaling rates, and async or sync mode.
The following pages describe all switch locations, positions, and functions.
