Interface Configuration
Before you set up the default switches, determine the proper operating parameters for your
application, then set the parity, hardware handshake, and baud rate switches as indicated in the
figure. Be sure that all switches are fully seated in their proper positions to ensure reliable
operation.
Interface Installation
After the configuration switches have been set, you are ready to install the interface in the
computer. Most computers that use this interface have one or more 110 backplane cover plates
that protect the accessory/backplane enclosure. To install the interface, remove the appropriate
cover and carefully slide the interface into the selected slot, usually the one below the centerline
of the cover plate retainer nuts in the computer or expander frame. Seat the interface into the
backplane connector, then tighten the two thumbscrews to hold the interface in place. Do not
overtighten. The interface is now ready to be connected to an interconnecting cable or adapter
between the interface and whatever data communication equipment you are using in your
application.
