Page 8: Introduction
CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction With the High Speed COS-4 or High Speed COS-8, you can send a code sequence from an asynchronous RS-232 device and switch between four or eight other such devices. By using this electronic method to switch, you avoid the problems that can occur (especially with laser printers) when you switch manually. -

CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3.3 Choosing the Arming Code Use the DIP switch labeled SW12 inside the High-Speed COS-4 or COS-8 to set the COS’s “arming code” (the character that alerts the COS to an impending switch). As shown in Table 3-2 on pages 13 through 19, each possible setting of the eight DIP switch positions corresponds to a one-byte character value from 00 to FF hex (0 to 255 decimal). - Page 11 HIGH SPEED COS-4 AND HIGH SPEED COS-8 Table 3-1.

HIGH SPEED COS-4 AND HIGH SPEED COS-8 4. Installation 4.1 Placement Place the High Speed COS-4 or High-Speed COS-8 in a cool, dry place close to an electrical outlet. It should be within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the devices you want to connect to it. - Page 20 *Our EVNBMC cable is pinned this way. It also carries the other pins supported by the AT serial interface, but the High Speed COS-4 and COS-8 don’t support any of the other pins except Pin 1, PGND, which is not required.
- Page 21 ERIAL RINTER For each serial printer you want to connect to the High Speed COS-4 or COS-8, you’ll need a cable containing at least 5 wires with DB25 male connectors on each end. Assuming you’ve set the COS port(s) as DCE (see ), the cable(s) should be wired as shown in Table 4-2 on the Section 3.4...
