Switch Configuration
Switch Configuration enables the administrator to configure the NODEMUX to be used as a stand alone switch or as one of the
switches in a cascaded system.
Note: Cascading is no longer supported in this switch. Be careful not to change this field to anything except “STAND
ALONE SWITCH”.
Switch Configuration is also used to setup the communication settings for RS232 communication with a remotely connected
terminal through the RS232 port. For the Switch Configuration Mode menu, press from the Administration Mode menu
(above).

Be careful with
this field. If
changed to
“SLAVE”, OSD
will not work after
power cycling.
In the event the setting is changed
from "stand alone" to "slave", when
the switch is power cycled the OSD
menu will no longer work. To restore
the setting back to "stand alone",
factory default settings must be
restored via a terminal connected to
the RS232 control port. See the
RS232 Command "CF" on page 24 to
restore default settings.
