Appendix A.1.3.
Configure DIP switches S0 – S3
The S0 - S3 DIP switch selection is read directly into a Data Array. This Data Array value can be used for customized
operations such as config file selection which allows a FieldServer to be loaded with several configurations /
profiles that are selected based on a Data Array value. See the example below where a Config Table and Dynamic
Parameter can be used in conjunction with the DIP Switches to achieve this type of customization. .
In this example, 5 configs will need to be downloaded to the QuickServer: config.csv (base config), profile1.csv,
profile2.csv, profile3.csv and profile4.csv. The profile configs will be configured as per FieldServer standard
configuration templates. The base config will be used to select the appropriate profile config to load.

Restart_Method*
The specified config or profile is loaded on start-up. If the parameter
is configured as On_Change, the QuickServer will restart and reload
the specified config every time the Data_Array value changes.
Otherwise the config or profile will remain unchanged even if the
Data_Array value changes.

Note: In this example the value 0 has no operation, so if 0 is read on the dip switches no profile will be loaded.
Similarly values larger than 4 will be ignored.
