1.7 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by set-
ting jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your options
for each jumper.
1.7.1 How to set jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting
jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" (or
turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" (or turn
OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set
of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1
and 2, or 2 and 3.
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.
