Things You Need to Know That are Not Obvious:
This section explains what the Switch, LEDs, etc. do.
1 "Configuration" switch:
slide switch located on the rear of the
Serial Server
must be
switched "up"
to the "Config.
Mode" to use
the Set Up
Utility. This
switch is used
to enable the
Configuration process irrespective of
whether the configuration is done with
USB, the COM ports or over-the-air.
Likewise to "Run" the Serial device, the
switch must be set downward to the
"Communications Mode" position.
2 "USB Port":
only for configuration, and when the USB
cable is plugged in it will borrow the
RS232 signals from the COM1 port. So
when configuration is completed, the
USB cable MUST be removed for COM1
to function properly.
3 "Power"
It is recommended to also
use the power supply when configuring
the Serial Device instead of relying solely
on the USB cable to provide power.
Laptops in particular are stingy with
restricting power available from the Laptop
USB port.
