Baud Rate
The baud rates for the two RS-485 buses, bus 1 and bus 2 (see the faceplate of the device for
which RJ-11 jacks are for each bus), may be independently configured using the switches
on the first DIP switch, labeled S1.
Note
This parameter can also be changed using the front panel menu or Click Supervisor.
The switch patterns for the two parameters are identical, but bus 1 is configured using
switches 1–4 (S1:1–4) while bus 2 is configured using switches 5–8 (S1:5–8).

Table 3 – DIP Switch Baud Rate Settings for Bus 1 (left) and Bus 2 (right)
As these tables show, if the switches are in any configuration besides the ones laid out in the
first few rows of these tables, that bus will default to 9600 bps.
If any of the switches are on (flipped up), Hardware mode is selected, meaning the baud rate
will be configured using the DIP switches, and Click Supervisor and the front panel menu
will be able to display the current setting, but not change it. If all switches are off (down),
Software mode is selected and only Click Supervisor and the front panel menu will be able
to both display and change the current setting.
Base Channel
This parameter selects how the Click 111 maps the incoming sensor outputs to the card’s
outputs. The setting determines the starting sensor channel that will be mapped to the as-
sociated bus’s output channel 1.
