Installation; Setting The Rate Switch - Black Box Pow-R-Boot 5 Manual

3.1 Setting the RATE Switch

Use the DIP switch labeled "RATE" on the Pow-R-Boot 5's rear panel
to set the PRB 5's data rate and other options, as described below.
Data Rate
Set switch positions 1 and 2 to select the data rate you want the PRB 5 to use
for Control-Port communication. (The device attached to the Control Port
must be set to the same data rate.)
Downtime
Set switch position 3 to select the "downtime" involved in the reboot cycle;
that is, how long the PRB 5 will keep AC power off before restoring it when
you send the PRB 5 a reboot (toggle power) command.
When position 3 is set "down" (the default setting), downtime is 2 seconds.
When position 3 is set "up," downtime is 5 seconds. Select the 5-second
downtime if the attached device needs to be off longer than 2 seconds to
properly reinitialize. If you need a downtime longer than 5 seconds, call
Black Box for technical support—we may be able to give you a special
quote on a unit with such a capability.
Quiet Mode
Set switch position 4 to turn "Quiet Mode" on or off. In Quiet Mode, the
Pow-R-Boot 5 will suppress all the status messages that it would normally send.
When position 4 is set "down" (the default setting), Quiet Mode is off and
the PRB 5 will send status messages as normal. When position 4 is set "up,"
Quiet Mode is on and the unit will not send any status messages.
