Important!

Make sure that the serial-to-parallel converter is resting on a stable, level
surface where it will not be subject to vibration or damage.
Setting the converter’s DIP switches
[CORRECT METHOD] [INCORRECT METHOD]
You should set the converter’s DIP
switches so they match the settings you
make on your computer. The table to the
right shows the parameter that each DIP
switch on the serial-to-parallel converter
controls.
The tables below show all of the settings
you can make with the serial-to-
parallel’s DIP switches to control certain
parameters. The tables also include the
matching settings you have to make in
your MS-DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT file or
with the
Ports option of the Windows
Control Panel . The highlighted cells in
the tables indicate default settings for the
serial-to-parallel converter.
