LED Indicators
The 232BSS4 has five LED indicators. The first, labeled “+12 VDC
POWER” indicates that power is applied to the switch. The other four,
labeled “PORT A” to “PORT D” indicate which Slave port is currently
selected to transmit to the Master.
In Smart Switch Only mode, the port LEDs indicate which port was
selected through the Select Port command. In Auto Select mode, the port
LEDs indicate which port is currently sending to the Master. No indication
is provided to display which Slave port is currently receiving from the
Master.
