DIP Switches
A triple DIP (dual inline package) switch allows the
Serial Server
to
be placed into
Console Mode
. When all three switches are moved into
the ON position the
Serial Server
enters
Console Mode,
allowing
configuration of the
Serial Server
(using an RS-232 connection
through the serial port on the ESP901 or Serial Port 1 on the ESP902)
from a PC running a terminal program such as
HyperTerminal
. When
the
Serial Server
enters
Console Mode
the
Console Mode
screen will
appear in the HyperTerminal program window. The serial port settings
must be 8-N-1 at 9600 baud.
