CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction The Serial↔Parallel Converter VI converts RS-232 serial to IBM ® PC parallel or vice versa. The unit will automatically set itself for the direction of conversion. The Converter supports both X-ON/X-OFF and DTR/CTS serial hardware handshaking, and Busy/Acknowledge parallel handshaking. -

Page 10: Dip Switches
CHAPTER 3: Installation 3.2 DIP Switches The Converter uses a set of eight external DIP switches (see Figure 3-3). Because all eight switches are in one externally accessible DIP-switch package, you don’t have to open the case for configuration. The configuration switches allow you to select data rates, parity, word length, and flow control. - Page 11 SERIAL↔PARALLEL CONVERTER VI After connecting the hardware, set up the Converter by selecting the appropriate DIP-switch settings for your application: Position Flow Control Hardware Software Enabled Disabled Parity/D. Bits/ S. Bit None/8/1 Odd/8/1 Even/8/1 None/7/2 Odd/7/2 Even/7/2 Odd/7/1 Even/7/1 D. Rate (bps) 1200 2400 4800...
- Page 12 CHAPTER 3: Installation NOTE:The Converter reads DIP-switch settings during power-up. All other positions (1 through 5, 7, and 8) are not checked after power-up, and changing any of these positions will not affect the operation of the Converter until the connected equipment is powered off and back on again.

SERIAL↔PARALLEL CONVERTER VI 4. Operation Once your Converter is properly configured and installed, it should operate transparently—as if it were a standard cable connection. Operating power is derived from the RS-232 data and control signalsl; there is no “ON/OFF” switch. 4.1 LED Status Monitors The Converter indicates data activity by blinking. - Page 14 CHAPTER 4: Operation Table 4-1.
