    “arming code” (the code that causes the COS-2 to switch). As you can see, the COS-2 is very light and compact. For this reason, we’ve included a hook-and-loop fastener that you can use to attach the unit directly to any number of surfaces, including the housings of PCs and printers.

  • Page 9: Configuration

    3.2 Setting Communication Parameters Use the right-hand DIP switch on the bottom of the High-Speed COS-2 to set the COS-2’s communication parameters. As shown in Table 3-1 on page 12, positions 1 through 3 control the data rate; positions 4 and 5 control the data format;...

    It should be within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the devices you want to connect to it. Your package also includes a special “hook-and-loop fastener” fabric strip that allows you to mount the COS-2 in a convenient place, such as on a PC (see Figure 4-1 below). To mount the COS-2, remove the white backing of this strip, then attach the side with the “hooked”...

  • Page 20: Cabling

    “source” or “master” (the one that’s doing the switching), connect the male end of the cable to the COS-2’s port “A.” If the computer is a “destination” or “slave” (one that’s being switched), connect the male end of the cable to the COS-2’s port “B”...
  • Page 21 *Our EVNBMC cable is pinned this way. It also carries the other pins supported by the AT serial interface, but the High Speed COS-2 doesn’t support any of the other pins except Pin 1, PGND, which is not required, and the pins for DSR and RLSD (DCD), which the COS-2 ties high.
  • Page 22 *Our EYN254C cable is pinned this way. It also carries Pin 1, PGND, which the High Speed COS-2 supports but doesn’t require, as well as Pins 6 and 8 (DSR and RLSD [DCD] respectively, tied into the CTS DTR lines), which the COS-2 keeps tied high.

  • Page 23: Power Connection

    Lastly, plug the output cord of the High Speed COS-2’s power-supply adapter into the power socket (barrel jack) on the COS-2, then plug the adapter into a working outlet.

  • Page 24: Operation

    Turn on power to the High Speed COS-2 using the OFF/ON slide switch on its front panel (see Figure 3-1 on page 11). If position 6 of the COS-2’s right-hand DIP switch is set to OFF (down), the COS-2 will be ready to operate normally.

  • Page 25: The Self-Test

    HIGH SPEED COS-2 5.3 The Self-Test To have the High Speed COS-2 perform a quick self-test, turn it off and set position 6 of its right-hand DIP switch to ON (up). Connect port “B” to a terminal or other RS-232 device whose data rate and data format match those selected on the COS-2.

    6.1 First Steps If the High Speed COS-2 does not seem to be passing data or switching correctly, the first thing to try is to have the COS-2 perform its self-test as described in . If the LEDs fail to light, contact your supplier. If Section 5.3...

    HIGH SPEED COS-2 6.3 Shipping and Packaging If you need to transport or ship your High Speed COS-2: • Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container. • Before you ship a unit for repair or return, contact your supplier to get a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number, and make sure you include everything you received with the unit when you ship it.
