CHAPTER 3: Installation 3. Installation IMPORTANT! Before attaching any cables or power plugs, make sure that the power is OFF on all equipment, including the Pow-R-Switch. A serial self-test is included to help you when installing the unit. 3.1 Mode Switch The DB9 data ports are configured DCE and DTE.
POW-R-SWITCHES 4C AND 8C 3.5 Setting the DIP Switch Once again, before attaching any cables or power plugs, make sure power to all equipment is OFF. Select the proper data rate, word structure, and arming character. Connect the RS-232 connector(s) and plug in the 5-volt DC power supply.
CHAPTER 3: Installation The self-test message is sent to the output (DCE) port. Note that the self-test message will not be sent to the DCE port. You can reverse the DTE/DCE selections of the two DB9 connectors by changing the Mode switch (see Section 3.1).
