SetUp Switches

The SetUp Switches select the baud rate and Off Time, and

enable/disable the Password feature and Read Only Mode. If

switch settings are changed while the unit is powered On, press

the Default Button to re-read switches. The Default Button

allows the user to change switch settings while power is on,

without re-booting the RPB+ and connected devices.

Note: If Rate Switch settings are changed while the

unit is powered on, new parameters will not take

effect until the Default Button is pressed, or the

RPB+ is powered Off and On.

Off Time: When a boot cycle is initiated, the "Off Time"

determines the length of time the device will remain off until

power is restored.

Password: When enabled, a password is required in order to

access the RPB+ Command Mode (Default = [Enter]). To re-

define the Password, refer to Section 4.

Read Only Mode: When enabled, the /P command (Define

Parameters) is suppressed. This allows the user to invoke

On/Off/Boot commands, but prevents redefinition of

parameters such as the Password and Power-Up Default.

Control Port Connection

The male, DB9 connector (labeled "RS232") is used for

connection to an external modem or local PC. The RS232 Port

uses a DTE configuration, similar to an AT computer. Figure 3

describes the Control Port interface.
