3.1 Setting the DTE/DCE Switch

For your convenience, the IC476A-X-R2 Converter has an externally

accessible DTE/DCE switch (see the diagram on the previous page). To

access the DTE/DCE switch on the IC477A-X-R2 and IC478A-X-R2,

remove the plastic shells as illustrated on the next page.
If the device connected to the Converter is a modem or multiplexor (or is

wired like one), set the switch to “DTE.” The setting causes the Converter to

behave like Data Terminal Equipment and transmit data on pin 2.
If the device connected to the Converter is a PC, terminal, or host

computer (or is wired like one), set the switch to “DCE.” This setting causes

the Converter to behave like Data Communications Equipment and

transmit data on pin 3.
