6.3.3 Channel Selection via DIP Switches
The backplane-mounted DIP switch settings override the default channel programmed by
PGM800Win.
To set a default channel via the software, all DIP switches must be set to “OFF” (i.e. 00000000).
When a switch is “Off”, its binary count is active; when a switch is “ON” its binary count is in-
active.
The various DIP switch combinations of ON or OFF make up a binary total, which identifies the
channel number. To select a channel, set the appropriate DIP switch or switches to “OFF” to
make the binary count total the channel number you want. Set all other switches to “ON”.
It is recommended to set both SW1 (RX) and SW2 (TX) to the same settings on both back plane
boards.
Example: To select channel 5, set the DIP switches as shown below:
