Remote Baud Rate
The 8-position switch pack SP1 on the M&C module programs the external remote serial
communications baud rate and parity. Set the switches to ON (nearer the PCB) or OFF
(away from the PCB) to select parity and baud rate.
SP1 switch position 1 (SP1-1) sets the parity:
• OFF = even parity
• ON = odd parity
SP1 switch positions 2, 3, and 4 (SP1-2, SP1-3, and SP1-4) set the baud rate as follows:
Baud
SP1-2
SP1-3
SP1-4
110 ON ON ON

4.1.2.3 Remote
Address
The switch connects to an
EIA-
485 remote communication link. To communicate on this
link, each switch and modem must have a unique address between 1 and 255.
Note: “0” cannot be a device address, as it is the global address for all devices.
To program an address, use the 8-position switch pack, SP2, on the M&C module.
Addresses are binary coded numbers:
• Switch position 1 (SP2-1) is the most significant bit.
• Switch position 8 (SP2-8) is the least significant bit.
