2.6 Setting Jumpers

You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a
jumper you connect the pins with the clip.

To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have
three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either
pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your
application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before
you make any change.

Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.
