2.4 Setting Jumpers

You configure your board to match the needs of your application by set-
ting 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 ìcloseî a jumper you
connect the pins with the clip. To ìopenî 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 changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
